Overlaying things…help!
Hey all I need help on these two things I am trying to make a commercial for friday..!
1.I want to overlay (put it on top of the video) a logo with a black background and some text….the problem is that when I place the graphic or text in the video preview it only shows the video OR the text/graphic….how do I put it OVER the video? and how do I edit and move it around?
2. I am trying to put a part that basically I want the video to stop and trun the screen capture black and white and display text and also play a high impact sound…how do I do this?
PLEASE ANY HELP!!!! I really need to do this right! Thanks!

#1. What format is the logo (JPEG, PNG, PSD, etc.)?
Does the logo have an alpha channel?
If yes, try right-clicking it, selecting Properties – Media and set the alpha channel to Premultiplied.
If there’s no alpha channel, use the Chroma Key FX to remove the black background.
Make sure the logo track is on top of your video clip.
Use Pan/Crop to move it around and shrink it.#2. There are two ways to do this.
The first is to take a snapshot at the desired point (set your Preview window to Best/Full before doing this) and save it as a PNG.
Now drop this PNG at the desired point, drag to desired length and apply the “Sony Black & White” FX to it. Set the FX level as desired.
Place an appropriate sound FX at the desired point.The second is to use keyframes and a Velocity envelope to freeze the video (set to ‘0’ at the desired point).
Using Keyframes once again, apply the “Sony Black & White” FX at that point to turn it black & white. Set the FX level as desired.
Place an appropriate sound FX at the desired point.
