Anyone know how to add past video footage to a video?

Is there a way to put your current clips with like a box on the top left/right with your past video playing? What software would be able to do this? Much appreciated!

I use Sony Vegas Pro 11. Of course, most up to date downloadable (this meaning software that do not come with the computer such as Windows Movie Maker) programs can do this. If your program can have multiple video tracks, just put the main footage on the bottom track, and the previous video on the top track. Then just size the video to a small box. If you have Sony Vegas, I would gladly get more indepth if you send me a message.

Good luck!!

The method I used is to create a box image in photoshop or similar software then use Vegas to import the clip and use Pan/Crop to make it smaller and place it inside the box. I think Adobe premiere can do this also.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, Vegas Pro only works with PC? I was wondering cause I use Mac

Yes Adobe Premiere can do this as well, it's similar in that you can drag and resize the top layer above the background. Then if you want audio to play on both videos, you need the audio on a separate unmuted track.

Yes, that is true. Your best bet would be Final Cut Express/Final Cut Pro.

EDIT: You could install Windows on a Mac too. Wouldn't be worth it just for Sony Vegas though.
