    If the borders are transparent, just put them on the top layer of the video. It depends what software you use, sometimes it helps to make the picture as large as the video.

      I'm trying to put the picture in the border in Powerpoint. Plus, I edit with Movie Maker so, I'm gonna need you to not speak Pixel language, and speak English.

        Powerpoint is not a video editor. I've never used Movie Maker but sure it has the ability to put pictures and videos in different layers on top of each other. I use Sony Vegas though, never had any problems.

          I use the 2010-12 version. I WOULD like to download the 2008 version [which lets you put pictures and videos in different layers on top of each other AND lets you make split screen videos] but why would any sane person have 2 versions of the same software?

                I agree, Powerpoint and Movie Maker are not powerful enough tools to do what you're looking for. There will be some free alternatives to industry standard multimedia editors, but you'll need to upgrade your tools to do these more advanced things.

                  Windows 10. So if it's an unsafe link or file, either Chrome or the computer will tell me.
                  Edit 3:58 It didn't work. It's an .7z file which I have never heard of. But when I downloaded WMM [2012 version] it worked because it was an .exe file. So I opened the NZ file with Chrome, and nothing happened. It downloaded itself, in a Chrome file but it was still a 7z. So I'll try from softonic.com which is where I got the 2012 version of Movie Maker.

                        Since it seems the problem isn't yet solved, maybe I can help. It seems the borders are already transparent, so that's a good start! If you'd like, you could send me the pictures you need in the borders, if that's possible (sorry, new to the forums ) and I could put them in the borders for you, or if you have a solid colour as your background I could add a solid colour to the outside of the borders - so you could cover up any sticking out parts that you don't want to be seen.

                          Perhaps sharing templates is a good option, so you can learn from one another but you need to have the same editing software. Not sure if many people use PowerPoint as editing software and can have templates, same with Movie Maker.

                              There you go, hopefully this is about what you're looking for.
                              I use GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) - free software that is pretty handy to do any graphic work!

                              Anyways, I also attached a bit of a guide I tried to make, hopefully this should help you to recreate the effect if you try to do it yourself
