FX Titles

My kids are making short videos. They want something that
looks like a TV. They want to make it look like they are
on TV. A title of a TV frame might work. The title would
look like the frame of the TV and where the picture tube
would be they want to add their image. I'm thinking a
title because they overlay and you can still see the image
under the text. Any ideas if this is available for
download anywhere?

Thanks

You could draw up a frame in Photoshop: the picture tube
area should have an alpha channel so it would be
transparent. This is a tricky procedure in VF, but it is
possible-

Thanks Sonic,

I found a nice rectangular TV image in .gif format. It has
a rectangular 'screen' that should make it easy to cut out
(or make transparent) that portion of the image. However,
I haven't been able to figure out how to do so. I have
Corel Photo Paint 6. Any clues? If I do get the screen
portion of the image transparent, do I drop the image on
the overlay (top) video?

Thanks.
