    you’d have to mask the house out first, and create a new track with only the house on it. You can do this with the Bezier tool, or with a compositing app like After Effects or similar.
    The explosion or muzzleflash would go above the original and beneath the new track/image of the house without the background. If your shot of the house isn’t moving, it’s easy. if it is a moving shot, you’ll need a software that allows you to track the movement or you’ll have to mask each frame individually. Ouch.
