Customizing PiP Effect Rotation
Select the Rotation Settings option to customize the rotation of a PiP media. Use
the slider to set the amount the PiP media will rotate as it moves across the screen.
Select whether PiP media rotates counter clockwise, or clockwise.
Note: click the button to reset the rotation amount to 0. Any added rotation is
removed.
Adding PiP Masks
Click on the PiP Masks tab and select a mask from the list to overlay portions of the
PiP media. Masks are useful if you want to show/hide portions of your media on
the timeline in the final production. Click and drag the edges of the mask to move
and resize it. Deselect Maintain mask aspect ratio to resize the mask more freely.
If required, use the Mask transparency slider to set the transparency level for the
mask, or click to invert the portion of the media that is being masked.
Click the Import button to import and use your own custom mask in the .PNG
image format.
Utilizing PiP Keyframes
Use keyframes when modifying your PiP media to define the start and end points
of the customized effects. In the PiP Designer you can use keyframes to change the
PiP media clip's opacity, size (Scale), rotation, motion, shape (Freeform), and 3D
depth.
Keyframe Timeline
A custom keyframe timeline is generated for each PiP media clip when you open it
in the PiP Designer. In the below example, because the media clip is 10 seconds
long on the project timeline, the keyframe timeline is also 10 seconds.
