Hi.  First of all, I should mention that I'm not a Moray user...

When you did animations in the past were you doing the animating portion in
Moray or in Pov-Ray?  If you're already used to converting numbers &
associating segments of animation in Pov-Ray with different values of clock
or frame_number it's a good start.

If you've got some software which can convert your video into a sequence of
numbered files (similar to what Pov-Ray outputs in animation mode) then
with some string-manipulation you should be able to read in individual
frames of video and slap them onto your 3d model using image_map (3.5.1.5.1
 in docs).

What format is the video in? Maybe somebody will have a suggestion for
turning the video into individual frames....

Hope this helps some

Charles
