Premiere Question-Overlaying Video on Still-Aligning

[Deepa DvD]

Sup guys!
I overlayed a video on a still image (background) image.I went to Video Options -> Motion (for video track). I resize the video and everything. I want to know how I can align the video track on the still image (background) so I can see the still image (background) when aligning the video track on it.(instead of plain old white in Video Options -> Motion ->Distoration)

Thanks In Advance!:)


My still image (background) is on Video 1A.
My Video is on Video 2.

Use above Premiere:

1. Place your still image in track VIDEO 2(top one in the timeline window).
2. Expand above track(little triangle most leftside)
3.Place your movie in track VIDEO 1A( just below above track)

4.Right mouse on video options of still image in VIDEO 2 track :/transparency/select in KEY TYPE the setting that would show the see-through you wish in the litle right top window.
You have to select the appropriate colour matte channel in the drop down choices in the KEY TYPE.
GOOD LUCK!

I tried as you suggested, but still I can't Align the video track on the still, so I can see where I am aligning the video track on the still.

For Example. I want to align the Da** video track on the still as you align layers in Photoshop.And while your aligning you can still see the background. See what I mean.

Do I need to use AfterAffects to do that?



I'd really appreciate your help!:)
Thanks In advance!

Hi, I don't follow your question abour aligning.You drag and drop your files to the tracks as I mentioned, one below the other.Please elaborate for I cannot be of help on this specific issue.I don"t use after effects.

hello,

The video is overlayed, everything is fine.I want to know how can I put the Video track on the still exactly the way I want it (left, right,center,etc.I can do that in Video Options -> Motion ->Distoration) but it doesen't allow me to see the background image, so I know where exactly I want to put the video track on the still image (background).
Thanks In advance!:)

How about holding down the "alt" key while moving the timeline. I'm not sure either wath you're after but holding the alt key gives you a correct preview of the video with the effects and all.

You guys don't get me.:(

This is what I did:

I overlayed a video on a background.I resized it and everything by going to Video Options -> Motion ->Distoration). I want to know how can I put it on the background exacly as I wanted.For example I have squares on the background. I want to put the video in the square on the background image.How do I put the video in the squares of the background (align it on the background).
I'd really really appreciate your help!
Thanks In Advance!:)

im pretty sure i know the problem your experiencing, you're resizing the overlay to a corner (for example) and you can only see the main movie in the transparent part of your overlay, the rest of the picture (outside the news size/position of the overlay) is white, where you should be able to see the movie instead.

dont resize your overlay in premiere, if its a single frame overlay, just resize and move it in photoshop with a 'video transparent' background (the grey/white squares) and import it into the vid 2 and it should appear fine.

Hello,

No, you haven't understood me. I have a background image And A video.The video is on top of the background image.That's fine! I want to know how the h*ll I can put (align) the resized Video track on the background image.

On the background Image I've made squares in Photoshop. I want to put the resized Video track to be exactly in the square.So how do I align it?

Many Thanks In Advance!
I'd really really appreciate your help!:)

Scaling and positioning:
Right click on Video2. Choose ->Video Options ->Motion

In i Motion window:
Choose -> Use clip's , Show All ( You can work with your real clips)

Settings:
Zoom = Scale to button size
Time = Sett the start and end keyframes to the same value
INFO = here can you determine the position. Try to use the same coordinates from Photoshop. Don't forget to set up the same value for the first and last frames.
