Here's a sample clip showing the use of a custom image overlay....

http://www.papajohn.org/Temp/Ship-on-Water.wmv

I shot the video of the water at Big Sur in October... the ship is a still
picture of the new Friends-Goodwill in South Haven, Michigan.

The ship background was removed using Paint.NET and saved as a .PNG file....
the PNG was used as a custom overlay by putting it into my 'Custom Overlay
Starter Kit', a download from the Editing > Text > Custom Overlays page of
my website.

The frame is one of the special effects in the Adorage third party package.

================================
It's interesting that the slight movement of
the camera creates the illusion that the ship
is moving. Neat!

I saw that too... my eyes/mind were being tricked a bit. That's one of the
reasons I added the frame, to kind of anchor it by the top of the mast, so
you would know it's a still picture overlay.

And again I post a comment about custom overlays just to see you already
addressed it. I should read the new posts before addressing the old ones I
guess. :)
