create a black image. Open in QT Pro. select all. copy. close.

Open your smaller image. Select all. Edit > Add scaled.

Open movie properties (cmd-j). Select Video Track 1 from the
left pull-down, layers from the right. Adjust the layer # for
Video Track 1 until it appears in front. choose Size from
the right pull-down menu. Click Adjust. Move the 2nd video
into place. Click done. Save or export your work.
