Adding PiP Effects With Predefined Motion
To add a predefined motion to a PiP object or media clip, click on the motion tab
to display the PiP motion options and then select a predefined motion path from
the list.
Customizing PiP Effect Motion
The PiP Designer uses keyframes to customize the motion of a PiP object or media
clip (and transparency if required). Keyframes are frames of your video that define
the start and end points of an effect, which in this example is motion or
transparency.
Note: some PiP objects have predefined motion already applied.
To customize the motion of a PiP effect:
drag an existing keyframe to a new location in the preview window. The PiP
effect will move along the new path to get to the changed keyframe position.
