EGOR

Got it.  Thanks.  Now the trouble is that I can't seem to move the box on the preview window so I can get it  into position on the screen because once I try to move the censor box on the preview window, the video starts playing.

Thanks.  I still need help understanding where IN TIME to place the censor effect.  I can place it in the correct spot on the screen, but it lasts for the entire duration of my video clip.

OK, new problem but on the same project.  I am using the Censor video effect, which I've got figured out, somewhat.  I know how to place the censor bar where I want it in space on the screen, but don't understand how to place it at the correct TIME on a video clip.  As it is right now, the censor bar appears throughout the entire length of my  video clip.  In other words, how do I set the start and stop time for a video effect?

You have helped a lot, thank you.  But now, after laboring for 2 nights to get the still images placed exactly where I want them, when I created the "final" version, by using Export video > Video file> and saving as .mp4 format, the images are placed higher on the screen than I intended.  What might I be doing wrong? 

Getting there, but I don't understand the difference between Horizontal (ratio), Base X, and Offset X.  An explanation of the difference might really help me to place the still image where I need it.  Tank you!!

Thank you!  I think I've got it working well enough now.  

Thanks, but that seems to just overlay the exact same clip I already have over itself?  How do I choose a new still image to overlay the animated clip?  Think, how would you simply overlay something like credits over an animated clip?  Should be possible, no?

I am trying to prepare a video project for next week.  I am trying to overlay a still image that I have over certain parts of a video clip, essentially so that parts of the video are masked.  I have been trying to use the  Add Objects > Add Overlay Image function to do this, since that sounds appropriate, but cannot figure it out.  I am not very tech savvy, but can certainly follow simple instructions.  Please help me!
