Drag the overlay on the canvas to move it and drag its corners to resize it. In the timeline, drag the segment or its edges, or enter precise start and end timestamps in the Effects sidebar.
Yes. Choose Smooth to fade an overlay in and out, or Hard cut for an instant transition. You can overlap several overlays and use Send to front or Send to back to change their layer order.
