Notice that the entire background is different in DS9 than in the original. The angle of the right side support is different and the shadowing of the molding on the back is a different color entirely. Rather than just inserting Odo, it was easier to mask out the entire background since they had rebuilt this K7 set anyway. You will also notice that Odo's table has been inserted along with the background. This wouldn't be a terribly difficult composite since the two sources are relatively static. A mask is created which allows the original actors to be seen while blocking out their background. The new footage is then placed behind the old and only the new background (including Odo) which shows through the mask is seen. The transition from the previous edit to this one was interesting and extremely believable. Since cutting directly from the previous example edit to this one would result in a jump cut, there was a reaction shot of Odo with two stand-ins for Chekov and Uhura passing in front. The stand-ins were only shown from the waist to the shoulders. The following shot was of the two of them approaching the bar from the original show, then cutting to this shot. J.
