Dear all,
I sincerely hope someone can help me. I'm working with LED billboards and need to visualize how the screen will look at the customers building to get the premision from the local administrations.
So I have a good picture of the buildings and a lot of movie clips. Now what I want is to put 3-6 movie clips on the picture of the building where the screen will be installed, and then create a new movie with the 3-6 clips.
I'm prepared to compensate your help if wanted.

The software can do picture-in-picture, which also means it can do video-in-video or any combination of that. I am not sure if that is what you want.
What this means (in terms of what I think you want) is that if I have a picture of a building (still frame image) I can then mask on that image another image, size and position it. I could also mask a video on that image of the building and size and position that was well.
Now, with that said... the image that is masked will have its own background, so it may or may not match to the building image.
To do this, you first load in the background image, you then load in the videos and use the effects tab > Movement Effects while the video is selected and size/position the video... if the video needs to be positioned at an angle, you then do that with the 3D Distortion effect.
Both size/position and the 3D distortion use handles to manipulate the selected image or video. There is a DVD for the Movie Edit Pro that you can buy from MAGIX that shows you how to do this...

I know this is very confusing, but that DVD can help a lot.

Thank for your quick reply !
I Think we are on the right track - basicly I want to overlay a video on a small portion of a picture and save this as a new video with the same length as the overlayed video. So I got the background picture and the vidie and need to merge these two objects as a new video.
Please let me know if you are capable of this in Movie Edit Pro 17. If yes can you do a demonstration for me ?

Yes, you can do that.
That sounds like a Picture-In-Picture effect. One image/video background, one image/video sized and positioned in the foreground overlaying the background image/video. I do this all the time.
