Use TGA, create your object(s) in photimpact. If you have more than one object select all objects, right click and select combine as single object. Right click again and select export object, select to file on the left and ?object and image? (I'm not sure but it's the top selection) on the right. Click ok select TGA as your file format and make sure "save selection" is checked. Save it.

Insert on the timeline and right click the image, select overlay options. Then select alpha channel in the second drop down box on the left.

That's it perfect overlay.
