Import the movie as abckground as follows:
move the mouse to the Layer in questions. this is top left and you should see 'layer 0' on apink background.
right click in there and select the 'background Image' option and then specify your video.
Hmm, I see where your coming from witht he moving hand issue. I haven't look ed at it for a while but that tutorial assumes a static object doesn't it? It adjusts the emitter properties doesn't it?
Ok, so add a blocker (or several if necessary) around the bits of the hand to rpeserve and just keyframe it to move it and/or change shape frame by frame if necessary. It will take a little while though I suspect.
