Mega tree picture help

[Gerald]

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to import a gif picture on to my mega tree on top of a background , I.E I would like the whole tree to be say Green with a Pink candy candy cane image going from left to right?
I know how to import the gif image and scale it to the tree, but I can,t create the effect I am looking for, maybe simple but at present I,m stuck

Any advice as usuall is much appreciated here

Do you know how to use effect layers and blending in xlights? Start with 2 layers. Put the GIF on top, then look at the layer blending options.

Something like this what you had in mind?
I set up 2 layers
I have the .gif/.png with transparent background, but you can also tick the check box to turn black into a background.
I put the effect with green under it for the 2nd layer.
Spent a minute or three trying to figure out why it wouldn't blend, then I realized the clipart people bagged me by putting it on a checkered white/gray background so it looked like it was "transparent" but it wasn't :-D.
