How do iuse a video as a texture in Cinema 4D?

I have a little project for youtube but it requires me being able to use a video as a texture on a cube. How do i exactly do this so that it renders when i make it into a . AVI ?

An easier way would just be to greenscreen it and then superimpose the video in a post-production program like After Effects or Sony Vegas.

However, it is possible to import a video into Cinema 4D.

1) First, browse for and then insert your video into the color channel.
2) Insert the same file into the alpha channel, and check it. (Alternatively, you could use the Luminance channel)
3) Deactivate the "soft" option in the alpha channel.
4) You'll see two colors at the top; the first one is the color to be eliminated by the alpha (just pick the most accurate green you can find manually)
5) The second color is the tolerance - black is precise green, with no tolerance.
6) Go to grey to decrease the precision of the color you picked.

Now calculate all the frames.
