The forms must be on a transparent background like a .png file. Place it on a lower track than your video and resize it, place it where you want it using PiP Designer.

Hereis a tutorial on using graphic images in the PiP designer. There are other tutorials at Sharper Turtle you may also find helpful.

Jim - That is ingenious. Viewed that tutorial and the jist of chroma keying an object in a jpg file should works well as you have shown.
