I'm no scripting expert, but it's fairly easy to pick up.Originally posted by: Moth3r
I recommend you learn AVISynth - it wouldn't be too hard to write a script to carry out the background pasting operation you describe.
yeah I should learn it since it's available. "Writing scripts" is something I haven't done since C-64 so doesn't seem likely, but never say never I recommend you learn AVISynth - it wouldn't be too hard to write a script to carry out the background pasting operation you describe.

Moth3r, I'll see what I can do when I get AVISynth installed on editing computer. If there isn't a GUI way to do it I'll have to try that - if my poor brain can handle it. I don't like software with excessive graphics, but I'm usually lost without something. thanks again
