• Use the center control points on the edges of the PIP
frame to change its dimensions arbitrarily.
• Use the control points at the corners of the PIP frame
to change its size but not its proportions (“aspect
ratio”).
Crop mode: In this mode the layout area represents the
entire overlay frame, regardless of its actual
dimensions as set in Scale mode. The rectangle defined
by the control points shows which portion of the frame
is visible. Outside the visible area, the frame is semi-
transparent, letting the checked pattern show through.
As in Scale mode, the side control points allow for free
adjustment of the crop rectangle, whereas the corner
control points preserve its aspect ratio.
The PIP tool in Scale (L) and Crop (R) modes.
Presets: Choose a preset name to set up all the PIP
controls at once to the predetermined values associated
with that name. You can choose a preset as a first
approximation to your desired settings, then adjust
them manually until you get exactly what you want.
Transparency: Use this slider if you want the
underlying video to show through the overlay itself.
Moving the slider to the right makes the overlay, with
its border and shadow, increasingly transparent.
