I tried to use this gif that has a transparent background:
![[Image: no%20black_zpsedzkkhav.gif]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/Omniverse/no%20black_zpsedzkkhav.gif)
to make an animated spout on a whale photo. It seemed like I should be able to use the whale photo as a background and the gif would run on top of it. When I did this keeping it as "replace," the whale flashed on and off and then the gif played. When I tried "combine," the spout did run over the whale image, BUT, the transparent background had changed into a white background:

I don't know whether to laugh or cry! What happened here? What obvious issue am I missing? Please tell me I don't have to make 42 layers of the whale image and merge them down with the spout layers!!
