I'm looking for software with which I can do this very simple thing: I need to be able to overlay static images on top of videos. I can't figure out how to do this in iMovie; do I need something more, like Final Cut Express? Is there a free, OS X-native OSS solution? This is actually for my dad, so it needs to be pretty user-friendly.

Thanks in advance.

you can do it pretty easily in QuickTime Pro

How do you do it? Do you mean the mask feature?

open the image, select all, copy, open the video, add scaled. Adjust as needed.

the QuickTime team seems to have a different idea from the rest of the world as to what the word "mask" should mean. In QuickTime it's for cropping parts of the picture out (not necessarily rectangular parts)

Ok, thanks.

Actually their idea of "mask" was what I expected coming from Photoshop. I suppose I could use masks but the other solution is better. Thanks again.
