This is my first forum post, and I am a very basic beginner. I have a Macbook Pro with a few video editing software programs, but likely do not have what I will need to achieve this:

I have seen a photograph with talking lips super-imposed over the mouth, where it looks like the photograph is talking.

How can i do that? First of all, what software would I need, and second, with that software, what is the procedure?

Thanks,

Dan

You need editing software that you can layer 2 tracks one of the photo of the head and the other the video of the talking mouth. Put the photo timeline above the video timeline. You will need to cut a "mask" or hole in the the photo track with the masking tool so you can see the mouth, have some feathering around the hole so it's not a Sharp cut. Position the and size the mouth so it looks right.

That is the basics of how to do it. I can not teach you the art of how to do it well.

Good luck.
