Modifying a PiP Effect or Object

A picture-in-picture effect allows you to insert an image, video or object

onto an existing image or video clip in your movie, effectively

overlaying a picture-in-picture within the existing clip. You can modify

the degree of transparency of the overlapping clip, as well as its

position, motion and other properties using the PiP Designer.

Note: Whenever you adjust any of the options in the PiP Designer, a preview

of the effect is instantly displayed for your convenience.

To open the PiP Designer:

• select an item in the PiP Track and then click Modify.

• within the PiP Objects room, click on to create a new PiP

object template from scratch by importing a custom image.

• within the PiP Objects room, select an existing PiP object and

then click on to edit the existing template.

Modify a PiP Effect’s Size and Position

You can change the size, position and orientation of the media clip or

object in a PiP effect. Resizing options are unrestricted. You can reduce

the clip to miniature size or enlarge it to completely obscure the

underlying media file.

To modify its size, position or orientation:

• click and drag a corner or side to resize the PiP object.

Note: Deselect Keep aspect ratio to resize the PiP object more freely.

• click on the PiP object and drag it to a new position.

• click on the green dot above the PiP object to change its

orientation.
