Can a png file with an alpha channel be specified in ez script to overlay a EZ-Camera image? If not is that a possibility? Have I missed something?

You can start with something like this... https://synthiam.com/redirect/legacy?table=plugin&id=47 I whipped up that example plugin for you.

Good idea. Am I correct the only overlay you can do now its text?(right-clicking camera image in control) The closest you could get is through the mobile interface currently.

I kick started your plugin. Make sure you have the latest ARC, it includes a few new methods for custom overlay. I updated this plugin and the source code for an overlay: https://synthiam.com/redirect/legacy?table=plugin&id=47

Since I'm just getting started if anyone has any ideas or hud designs just let me know.

Here are a few source images I've got so far:
