Before I knock myself out, let me ask this: You've demonstrated how really simple it is to use a mask with 3 layers. This may just be an academic question because I'm not sure of the practicality, but can we use multiple maske and multiple layers on 1 slide.
Thanx very much,
Bill

You certainly can put multiple masks on one slide. I call it the "sandwich" approach where you'll be able to put multiple pictures in different masks (no need to try and fit the pic in the transparent hole, just use the whole pic and you will see through). When I get home tonight, I'll post a sample and will take screensnaps of the layers on how it's done.
I used this in the instance of naming members of a baseball team and I wanted to put a few players on each slide but they all came from different pictures.

I was thinking the mask was black, translucent in areas, and shaped like the bottle so it was showing the M&M's beneath that were dropping down. Couldn't it be done like this? Also, couldn't the M&M's all be part of a single layer?

Each mm moves independently of the others, hence they can't be on the same layer.

Yes, voice-over can require time. We can't just ad-lib and babble our way through something. It needs planning and scripting.
Okay, Rick, it's time for that third tutorial. Wendy needs to know how she managed to do what she did so she can explain it.
