Using animated gif with transparent background

[dviner]

I'm trying to import an animated gif with a transparent background. When I use the ImageClip, the animation of the image does not appear. When I use the VideoFileClip, the animation does appear, but the video has a solid white background rather than the transparent background which is what's in the gif.

How do I use the image in such a way that both the background is transparent and the animation displays?

I'm attaching the animated gif file, so that you can see it.

I believe that I solved this issue by adding the has_mask=True param when I construct the VideoFileClip...

splotch = VideoFileClip('red-splotch-50w.gif', has_mask=True)

This seems to solve the issue.
