@0:15-0:18 (how to add the custom graphics to overlap the background clip)

If possible, how? Would i have to have another software program like photoshop to create the custom image then import to powerdirector? If so, how would i proceed to make it seem like a 3d image like in the youtube video?

You would for sure have to have or create the logos in a Photo eidtor, A good free one is "Paint.net".

You can likely find team logo images on Google images. Save any images you find as PNG even if you have to import a jpg into a photo editor then save as PNG.

You put your graphics in tracks (greater than 2) below the main track (track 1). Powerdirectotor's order of display is Higher Numbered tracks overlay lower numbered tracks.

It is very easy once you learn how to use Powerdirector and multiple tracks.

What about the 3d part, will powerdirector take care of the png image and convert it to 3d like what you see in the video? Please refer to adobe software products as I'm more comfortable using those, thanks.

Those are more like 3D animations. Taking a '2D' version of a 3D object wouldn't work if you try to rotate. YOu would need something like Bluff Titler. Not sure if you can even download that any more. Use to be free. There was another one years ago called ProAnimator 4. Anyway, you would need some sort of 3D animation app. Intel i7 4770k, 16GB, GTX1060 3GB, Two 240GB SSD, 4TB HD, Sony HDR-TD20V 3D camcorder, Sony SLT-A65VK for still images, Windows 10 Pro, 64bit

Just did a quick google for '3d animation'. They still make those two and several more to choose from. Use Google to find one in your budget and features you need. They all seem to output in video formats that PD can use.
