Animation reality check

Hi smart helpful people!!! Can you tell me whether what I'm trying to do is possible with out of the box / free version of Daz and the basic steps I'd need to take if it is?

Goal: An animated book cover I can post to FB and my website where the character will walk against a stationary photoshop background. Basically, is there a png version of animation I can create in Daz using, say, the whole dForce simulation thing, then stick it against a stationary backgrop and export the whole thing in a format I can i can post online?  If it is possible, should I be explosing the basic dforce animation or use the free sultry walk aniblock?  Are there programs other than Daz and Photoshop I would need?

Tyring to wrap my mind around the basic concept here and would LOVE some insight!!  thank you

Alex

    You coould render to an image sequence and then use another application to combine the saved files (ideally png so you get a transparency) into an aniamtion over the backdrop. Photoshop would do that, but I'm sure there are other (cheaper and more streamlined) options.

    Thank you, Richard!  Does the animation file from Daz come with a transparent background?

    I'm suggesting rendering to an image sequence, using tiff or png as the format. Rendering direct to a movie file will not give an alpha channel (transparency) and will be harder to work with.
