For simplicity's sake, just e-mail it.

You don't need a portion of video without it if your doing a straight blur. Your just blurring the actual shadow. It will either look like a generic shadow, or depending upon the background it's on it may blend in with the b.g.

Ed,

I emailed you the snapshot. What do you think?

I haven't seen it. Could you try again? Make the subject something like "Vegas Snapshot"

>Yes, the shadow is stationary and it's the same background the entire time. Also, no one crosses in front of it.<

In that case, cut the feathered hole as described before and use track motion on the bottom video to shift the shadow you want into position under the hole by moving the whole frame up and to the left (or whatever).

Thank you all for your help, and thank you, Edward, for looking at that snapshot and getting me that VEG file.
