Body: <p>I have a vector map of the state of NJ that I have broken up into counties (overall state as the shape layer...all counties underneath in a Group)
  I'd like to insert a different graphic/video into each of the counties. Can anyone help me figure this out?<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/5RbIB.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/5RbIB.png" alt="screenshot"></a></p>

  Once you have your separate layers you need to put the video layer for each county underneath its county shape layer. So it should look like a multi-layered sandwich, shape layer, then video, then shape, then video…
  
  Then set the alpha matte for each video layer to the layer above. The alpha matte drop-down is next to the transfer mode drop-down. Then it will use the opacity of the layer above as a matte for the video layer.
