Yes, you are probably right. Since it’s just one project and only about eight clips total, and since I already bought the MXF converter, I was hoping there was some way to make this work.
(I will look into FCP X though. A lot of the people out there don’t love it, but it could fit my needs.)

No, I don’t have FCP. I wish I did!! (I wouldn’t be messing with iMovie.)

Wow! Some stuff to mentally process there. It’s very interesting reading about the older methods. That’s what I think looks the best in general anyway. (Not a Luddite, but…) Thank you again!

Thank you! I don’t understand all of that, but I’m not the one doing the technical work anyway. I will relay this to my friend who is helping me.
What you are saying makes perfect sense! Basically, if the backgrounds of the images aren’t “transparent”, then white on one 100% layer (which I would need to get the black as black as possible) would block out black on another, etc. Yes indeed, we are talking about two black shapes on otherwise transparent layers, interacting over a separate white background.
Thank you so much! I will report back when I get it done — or if I get into trouble!
Thanks,
JimP.S. If you look at this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WymhVug6Wns), with its superimpositions, is there anything special happening? Is the digital equivalent of this merely having four layers (4 band members) each at 25%? The images don’t look that light, but maybe that’s because since they’re on top of one another, any places where dark parts interact have the effects of darkening the whole, so it looks pretty rich and colorful instead of too washed out.
