Any number of files can be overlaid. Each loaded image or movie is listed on the Media Overlay panel. The master file is listed first, followed by the overlaid images. The overlay operation displays the master file for a user-specified number of seconds, followed by each active overlay image for a user-defined number of seconds. For example, if you have a master and four overlays, and overlays 2 and 3 are checked, when you click Apply, the master image is displayed for x seconds, followed by overlay 2 for x seconds, then overlay 3 for x seconds. This process is repeated for a user-specified number of iterations, or flips.
