Modifying a PiP Effect
A picture-in-picture effect allows you to insert an image or a video
into an existing image or video clip in your movie, effectively
overlaying the picture-in-picture clip on top of the existing clip. You
can modify the degree of transparency of the overlapping clip, as
well as its position, motion, and other properties.
PiP effects have many options that you can modify independently.
These include a border, a shadow, a motion effect, a color filter, size
and position, and transparency.
Change the Speed of a PiP Effect
Slow-motion or fast-motion effects can grab your audience’s attention
as well as break up the rhythm of a movie.
To change the speed of a PiP effect, do this:
1. Select the PiP effect video clip that you want to modify.
2. Click Speed. The speed option panel opens.
3. Drag the slider to set the new speed (between .1x and 10x).
4. Click to close the option panel.
