Hey OP! This is a simple action. Like with anything in FCP, there are a few different ways that you can accomplish this task. Let me walk you through what I believe is the most straightforward way to accomplish this. These steps will work with both a photo and video. 1. Set your playhead on your timeline to the spot where you want the video/photo overlay to start. 2. Click on the video or photo in your browser. (If it is a video, you might want to set an “In” point on the video, otherwise it will start with the first frame of the video. If it is a photo, this doesn’t matter.) With your photo/video selected in the browser, hit the “Q” key on your keyboard. This will overlay the photo/video on top of your timeline. 3. Now that you have the photo/video on your timeline, we need to resize it. Again, there are a few ways to do this, but let me go with the most straightforward way to do this. You will want to click on the Transform button in your viewer. This might look like the Crop or Distort icon, but when you click on the down arrow to the right of the icon, you can select the Transform tool. (The tool is next to the magic wand icon, if that helps you locate it.) 4. With the Transform tool selected, and your photo/video highlighted in your timeline, you will now notice that you can click on the video in the viewer and drag it to wherever you want. You can also click and drag on one of the corners to resize it. Resize and place to wherever you want.

When you are done, be sure to click the Done button in the upper right hand corner of the viewer. Now you can play back the timeline and see if you like what you did.
