Hi guys I was just wondering if you can do a whooopsieee in Roxio? You know, you must have played Mortal Kombat? Where a photograph of a person would come in when you are fighting and say whooopsieee and then go. Now I a want to implement this in my home videos at the beginning of the movies, just wondering if it can be done. Many thanks in advance.

No I have never played Mortal Combat.   

Add the image as an overlay, chose the duration, location and motion for it.  Add the audio where you want it to coincide with the overlay.  You may have to lower the native audio during the audio.  You can also try adding a "narration" at that point if you don't have the audio file you need.

Thanks for your tip and pointing out my spelling mistake   regarding this at the beginnign of my video i just wanted the picture come in so you still see the movie behind, the picture would be 2 inch's by 2 inch's roughly. Can this be done?? Many thanks in   advance.

Not your spelling mistake; I think that is the way the game is spelled. One of my pet peeves.  That spelling was probably done to adjust for the US truth in advertising laws -- after all it is not truly "Combat" but "Kombat".

You can change the location on the screen, size and the transparency as you wish.  Why don't you play with it?  The best way of learning is trial and error.  That's how most of us learned about the features in the program.

I just wanted to add that I loved your Mortal Kombat reference. I used to hate that guy.  He only ever came up when I was getting smacked around and he just rubbed that fact in my face.  If I ever saw that guy in real life I swear I would hate him instantly.  Anyway, I hope that overlay works for you, good luck!

Thanks for your comment John, I have looked and tried but can not seem to do what I want to do. I am playing the movie and I have an photo image, which I have put on the overlay, so when I am playing the movie the picture comes in covering the full screen. As you know I want it to do the whooooosiee style, any advise and help??

Ok Kaz, step by step.
1) Add your video to the main track.
2) For ease, split the video where you want the overlay at both the beginning and at the end.
3) Select the split area and click the internal track.
4) Add the image or video and when it asks, say yes to the overlay.
5) Now double click on the image/video you added.
6) A window will open.  Select the middle tab.
7) Adjust transparency so that you can see the video behind (if it is a simple image, you won't have to).  Now adjust the size and the location.
8) Switch to the motion tab and select how you want the image to move into/out of the picture.
9) Click done
10) Read the manual.
