Overwrite: select to overwrite the existing clip with the PiP/paint animation
object.
Insert: select to split the clip and insert the PiP object/paint animation object
between the two portions. CyberLink PowerDirector also only moves the clips
on the same track to the right.
Insert and Move All Clips: select to split the clip and insert the PiP/paint
animation object between the two portions. CyberLink PowerDirector also
moves all of the media clips on the timeline that lie to the right of the inserted
clip, right.
Crossfade: select to lay the PiP/paint animation object over a portion of the
existing clip and auto add a fade transition between the two clips.
Note: the Crossfade option does not overwrite the content on the track,
instead adding an overlap transition between the two clips. See Setting
Transition Behavior for more information. The Crossfade option is only
available if the end of the new clip is not over any existing content on the
track.
Replace: select to replace a current clip on the timeline with the PiP or paint
animation object. Use this option if you don't want to change the structure of
the current content on the timeline.
Note: if the duration of the clip you are replacing is longer or shorter than
the PiP or paint animation object, CyberLink PowerDirector automatically
resizes it to fit the original clip's duration.
If the timeline slider is in a gap between two clips on a timeline track when
inserting a PiP or paint animation object, you are prompted to use this ripple
editing option to insert the clip:
Trim to Fit: select to have CyberLink PowerDirector auto set the duration of
the PiP/paint animation object to fit the gap to the right of the timeline slider.
Once added to the timeline, select the PiP object and then click the Modify button
to edit its placement, motion, and more in the PiP Designer. See Modifying Media
in the PiP Designer for more information. For information on setting the amount of
time the PiP effect appears in your video production, see Setting a Media Clip's
Duration.
