Frank,

Only thing I can think of is to use either PIP Studio or PIP Studio 2. This will allow you to take still scenes and position them over a background. If you have PIP Studio 2 (as Picture In Picture Studio does not function in Bogart) you can position two at a time over a background, whereas Picture In Picture will allow you to only add 1 per time. Then make a scene of the effect and add more til you're happy :).

Regards,
Chet

You could export them as photos and the import them in Photo Studio.
My mom always told me that happiness was the key to life.
At school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I said “happy" and they told me I didn’t understand the question.
I told them they didn’t understand life.

Thanks Tim & Chet. I have been away and just this minute had a chance to review these replies.

First I need to solve an audio problem in exporting a 4-minute project for YouTube using a thumb drive. Playback in my iMac "looks" fine but has no audio after 5 seconds in 5 attempts. First things first, I guess.

Frank,

How are you putting it on a thumb drive.

I have transferred HDV Projects to YouTube by simply using the Project Backup set to HDV to a thumb drive and then loading that up directly to YouTube without any compression or conversion with good results.

Tim--

Thanks. After Seth Hampton suggested two changes in Filmarchives (Quality - normal & MPEG content - check mark) all worked perfectly. The project on thumb drive now plays on either PC or iMac. I'll probably upload it to YouTube today. Last week, I had to divide the sermon video into two 10-minute segments which you can check out if you Google "Broadmoor Presbyterian Shreveport Sermons on YouTube".

I'll have to try your method soon. It sounds faster, but for the moment, this way works and that is satisfying.
