			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Well, just saving the file as a PNG won't do you any good. You actually have to have transparent areas in your image to save.

You could also try to set the layer mode (top layer) as "overlay" or "grain merge".]]></content>

I'm making a hand held camera test and I need to make an image I made in GIMP overlay onto my footage.
Any format, way I could could save so it's transparent? Thanks in advance,
