Source-checked About 10 minutes

Answer

Place the overlay on a track above the main video, resize and position it, then use Opacity or Blend controls to make it transparent or semi-transparent.

Build the layers

Import both clips, put the main video on the base track, and place the overlay on a higher track.

Fit the overlay

Trim its duration, resize it in the preview, and position it where it supports the main content.

Adjust transparency

Select the overlay and lower Opacity or choose a suitable Blend mode; controls can differ by platform.

Export and inspect

Match resolution and frame rate to the project, export a test, and verify the blend on the intended display.
