I'm about to start development on a new special effects program. It's
a very basic program that basically takes images with alpha channels
and composites them over a video fame. So, it might take a picture of
a lightsaber and composite it on a video frame using alpha channels in
the lightsaber image. The user will need to be able to drag the image
around on the screen, resize it, etc. The software will create the
effects on a frame by frame basis.
You want to use OpenGL.
Apple has freely available sample code that does everything you
describe. See:

OpenGLCompositorLab.htm
Just plug your effect into one of the image layers.
