I want to know how I can have an image as a background, but have a video playing as the "foreground", per say.

I don't want any illegal answers.
 
iMovie (Mac)

*insert blank here* (Windows)


:/


But I guess video editors can cover that?
 
I don't have a Mac. I've been looking for a video editor to do that but Google's given me nothing.

Well if you have the right video software, you can make a picture and leave it blank in the areas where the video would be. I don't think you can do that with free video editing software like WMM or something.
 
Sony Vegas is $400. I don't have $400 to shell out on a video software, sorry.

That's what I'm currently trying to find.
 
I've seen some of Sony Vegas and it's probably too complex and expensive for anything you're going to use.

I mean I use Camtasia and it's really good and will do pretty much everything you need and it's 250 dollars, which is proooooooobably still too expensive for you.

It's hard to recommend a good video editor since I haven't used any others buuuuuuut this might help you decide. None of them are free but they are all under 100 dollars.
 
You can get Sony Movie Studio which is a cheaper version of Vegas. It's like $50. Y'know Vegas is the way to go for YouTube Poop.

Here is an example of one of my YTPs.

 
do you know if somy movie studio allows me to add a background to my stuff, though? (or a cutout of a video in an image, whatever you want to call it)

if it doesn't then i think you missed the point of my question
