ok im pretty new to editing and filmmaking in general, but i learn pretty quick. last night i learned how to superimpose .jpg and .gif files (like for muzzle flashes or something) and now what i want to do is figure out how to matte two video things together... that is say i have the original footage, and i have footage of an explosion of a gun goin off shot against a black screen... how to i get the black/green/blue to go away? can anyone link me, or help me out?
thanks

instead of us having to guess...
why don't you tell us what program you are using to do this?
photoshop? after effects? shake? combustion? commotion?
