I am recording an animation (with use of Photoworks) inwhich
I use Tranparency in much of it.
When I look at the screen (unrendered), the items I have trasparent are not shown (yippee), but when I render it, the items that are suppose to be unseen are now seen. This is what happens when I record too. What am I doing wrong, Isnt transparency supposed to work in Animation (with Photoworks) ??

Partly...
It should work if you set your system option like this (see attached)

I tried the method you provided, but still can not get the fade in/out effect, is it possible to show some sample for us? Thanks in advance.

Download and open the 'Animated Treasures' assembly.
It should render and animate similar to the downloadable 'AVI' file.

I figure since S/W has both features, Photoworks and Animation (and they usually are used hand in hand), and allows the transpaerency to work withing Animation, that when you throw in photoworks, these key properties are ignored. This doesnt make sense.
I agree it doesn't make any sense and I agree it should be existing functionality. Unfortunately it's not the case and the only real way to have the functionality implimented is to submit an enhancement request.
I can tell you you're not alone in wanting this functionality.
Duplicated 15 parts which you are going to fade in, assign different transparent and reflection properties for each parts, change to figure bit by bit, then mate all the parts together, in the animator timeline, do a hide/show to show the duplicated parts one by one, if you got enough patience, I guess it still can be done.
Please refer to the example below, it's not a good example////
You might need Xvid Mpeg4 codec to watch the 2 second movie.
