I'm buying a blue sheet for a backdrop. I want to learn how to put other videos in the back ground while I'm in the fore ground. Someone point me into the right direction. Thanks folks, Travis

1. Switch to "Timeline" mode.

2. Drag your background video onto track 1.

3. Drag your foreground object which must be on a blue, green etc. background onto track 2.

4. On the tabs above the Media Pool, click "Effects"

5. Then open the folder in the Media Pool window called "Video Mix Effects"

Drag the effect called "Green Box" (use different effect for different color background) onto the foreground video.

These instructions are for Movie Edit Pro. If you have Photostory or Movies on CD&DVD then make sure your "Blue box" video has the name of the background at the end. Eg. "MyVideo_Blue.avi" Then you can skip steps 4 & 5
