Hello

I checked the helpfile that I downloaded from this website but I still can't find how to add a Image ontop of the movie

I've got a picture looking like the MTV logo which I want to put in the rightupper corner..
How can I do this?

Edit:

Hm, Okey I found out that I can drag the image to the Track where I want to have it, but now the image is 'fullscreen' and not at the top :(

I'm assuming this .gif file has a transparent background. Drag the image to a video track above the main track (.gif on track 1, video on track 2, for example). Drag the image event out long enough so that it lasts as long as you want to see it over the video. Open up Track Motion on image track and size & reposition it where you want it to be.

If the image doesn't have a transparent background then you may have to use Chroma Key to block it out.

Create a new track. You'll see an icon that looks like two overlapping rectangles -- it's just to the right of the track's name block. This icon turns on track motion. Place the new track above the track that has your video clip and add the still image to the new track. Use Pan/Crop to size the image as needed.

Track Motion is described fully in the documentation, and in the Help Menu as well.

Your image is on a video track.
