There are different answers for different mixing.

 

Explain more about what you are trying to do.

Yeaaaah. We'll need a little more info...

 

You'll need a good 3D app and need to know it inside and out. Probably want a 3D tracker like Syntheyes to match your camera shots. A good compositor like After Effects or the sort. Photoshop of course... AND a good editing program like Vegas or Premiere or Final Cut.

Well, I saw a AM little movie clip of a car going down the road and a T-rex chasing him, I would like to do something similar.

In that case, they put a CG object on top of live video. That's probably easiest.

 

They shot the car footage first. (notice that the camera never moves during the shot)

 

They converted it to a Quicktime movie or (better) a targa sequence.

 

they put that in an A:M chor as a rotoscope onthe camera

.

They adjusted the camera to match the perspective of the rotoscope.

 

They animated the Dinosaur to look like it was reacting to the car.

 

Render.

 

 

 

That's a bare bones explanation. There's tut around here somewhere that explains how to get CG shadows to show up on the live footage.
