H Axwack -
As Carl suggests, you can build up layers of visuals in PDR by using different tracks for each layer.
The animated graphics you describe as a "PowerPoint like presentation" is the most challenging, but it's
possible in PDR. As far as replicating that exact thing - the overlaid graph, animated over a blurred video - would involve many steps because PDR isn't set up to generate that sort of presentation instantly.
Some time back, I started working on a tutorial related to the question you've put. It didn't make it to the finished stage
but if you look at
this screen capture of some examples I shared at the time, you can see that it involves multiple layers masking.
