Body: <p>I was wondering if anyone knew the technique or how to place dynamic information into a produced video?</p>
  
  <p>The idea is that you could, say connect to facebook, and then display your friends faces in a movie about missing persons or similar. It's the same principle as the <a href="http://www.intel.com/museumofme/r/index.htm" rel="nofollow">Intel Museum of Me</a> where you grant access to facebook and it creates a gallery of your facebook pictures.</p>
  
  <p>Or similar to this video where you can upload your face into a video, <a href="http://vimeo.com/25392805" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/25392805</a></p>
  
  <p>I've been searching for ages for a method or technique for this but I can't find anything. Searching for "how to insert pictures in video" or "how to load dynamic data into video" doesn't seem to yield the right kinds of results.</p>
  
  <p>Thoughts appreciated.</p>
