Operation Manual

126 Pinnacle Studio 9
Border: These controls set the
color, width and transparency of
the border that will be drawn
around the overlay frame. Set the
width to zero (slider all the way to
the left) if you don’t want a border
at all. See page 135 for
information on how to use the
color controls.
The Softness slider controls the
amount of blurring on the outside edge of the border.
Move the slider left for a hard edge, or right to blend
the border with the background video. Check the
Rounded corners box if you want to round off the
corners of the PIP rectangle.
Shadow: These controls set the
color, width, angle and trans-
parency of the drop shadow effect
that gives the illusion of the
overlay frame floating above the
background video. Set the width
(using the Distance slider) to zero
if you don’t want a shadow to appear.
The dial-shaped shadow-angle control gives you eight
choices for the placement of the shadow relative to the
frame.
Enable picture-in-picture: This checkbox allows you
to turn the PIP effect on and off.
Apply to new clips: This option is handy when you
want to set up the same PIP settings for a number of
different clips. As long the option is checked, PIP will
automatically be applied to each new clip that you drag
onto the overlay track, using the same settings that
were displayed the last time the tool was open.
