Jurgen,

if I remember correctly movie objects ( buttons ) should handle masks ( 
aka overlays ) properly.
void MovieObject::drawContents (QPainter *pPainter, int 
iRenderFrameNumber, int iTotalFramesToRender)
{
   if ( m_pOverlay )  {
        m_pOverlay->drawContents ( pPainter, iRenderFrameNumber, 
iTotalFramesToRender );
        return;
   }

...

Sound is extra. This is because most often you want to create a silent 
menu or have one audio track and many short videos stitched together.

Varol :)
