I could put the still image on another layer but I want to be able to use a transition between the video and the still and back to the video. I could be wrong but don't you have to have items on the same timeline in order to use a transition between them?
I think I've pretty much got it figured out now thanks to everyones help. Now if I can just figure out how to do the ken burns effect ( making the still image look like it's moving) and then figure out how to titles and overlays i'll be set to get started on this project.
