Overlaying pictures on top of a movie

[Guest]

I am running a wmv file and want to fade pictures in and out at different
locations and appear on TOP of the running movie. So far, everything I tried
will not bring the pictures to the front. Someone told me that the movie file
refreshes constantly, so any attempt to overlay with other files does not
work. Suggestions?

Movie files will always play on top of anything else on the slide.

Suggestion, stop trying, you can't do it. <g> Video always plays "on top"
of anything on the slide.

You can still play the movie in just part of the screen and place images in
the remaining part.
I have used a black band below a movie to put subtitles.
