Overlapping video in Windows Movie Maker?

Question

If i'm not mistaken, windows movie maker has one 'track' for putting video clips and one 'track' for audio. Can you add multiple video tracks in WMM so that video overlaps?

If not, what are some other video editing programs that do this?

Answer 1

As you say, there's only one video track - Sony's Vegas Movie Studio has four and you can adjust the transparency, size etc of each.

Answer 2

no there are no multiple tracks on movie maker.  The best program where your knowledge will be useful for later upgrades to Final Cut Pro or Avid would be Adobe Premiere.  It has the most user friendly workflow and is much more intuitive compared to Vegas.  Its also a lot less buggy and files are more compatible between Photoshop and After Effects for special effects work and shot retouching.
