Composite a strawberry with the lips

We will use another script to composite a strawberry with the

lips.

1 From the Image Portfolio, choose the Strawberry image and drag it

onto the first frame of the lips movie. On the Layers palette, lower

the transparency so you can see to line up the strawberry with the

mouth. Once the strawberry is in position, return the transparency to

100%. Select the strawberry layer and copy it.
