Harry -- I have added the content of your second message to this one, since I think they relate to the same thing. I then deleted that separate message.
People with more experience at animations will, I am sure, add their wise advice. However, Ulead/Corel used to make a product called Gif Animator which you could use for animations. I am not sure if that product is still available. It used to come bundled with PhotoImpact. It did with the PI12 package, but I have not upgraded to PI X3, so I don't know. You could also use a flash animation package. I use Adobe Flash, but there are a variety of other -- and much cheaper -- flash packages out there!
But the idea is that you produce an animation, using a format like flash, Gif or even uncompressed raw AVI, which has a transparent background/alpha channel. Then you merely overlay that in one of the Video Studio overlay channels. If it already has a transparent background, then you need do no more. If it has a solid colour background, then you use the Chroma Key filter in VS to blank out the background colour and only show the butterfly...

Cool 3D Production Studio has an animated 3D Butterfly included. This could be rendered to a transparent video file (avi, raw uncompressed, that supports transparency), or SWF file using bitmap that would also have transparency, or animated GIF.

Have a look at these Animated GIF Butterflies.
I've downloaded a couple of them, then using Ulead GIF Animator 5, extended the time of the animation to 3 secs.

Here's what was done in VS using the animated GIF, and one of the static images in VS.
