    Hey gang,
    what I need to do is take my footage (which is moving, then ‘freezes’ at a point) and immediately after the ‘freeze’ I want to make it appear to be a picture complete with glass and frame, which will then be zoomed out and appear as though it is a part of a different scene. My question is how do I create the picture-with-frame effect? I duplicated the footage of the room that the “picture” will be apart of, and overlayed it on top of the “picture”, turned down the opacity, but it looks extremely week. The reason I did this was to simulate the appearance of a reflection on the “glass,” but the problem is it doesn’t look like it is reflecting in the glass of the picture…it just looks like footage that is overlayed other footage. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Matt
