Picture-in-Picture Mode

For any of your existing video clips or image clips on the Storyboard, you may add a

still image or video to the background. Set the transparency level depending on your

preferences.

Note: After you have modified your file in this mode, a red line will be displayed in the Modes

Wheel to indicate this.

1 First, select the default picture or video clip from the Library by double-clicking

on the selected file or dragging it into the Preview Window. The file will be

displayed. Refer to "Importing into the Library" on page 27 for more

information on importing.

2 Or, you may select a clip that has already been applied to the Storyboard by

simply selecting the particular clip and it will be displayed in the Preview

Window.

3 Click the Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Mode located on the Modes Wheel.

Note: Whenever the mode switches from Preview to another mode for the first time, a dialog

box may appear to notify you that the file will be added to the Storyboard automatically

depending on your Preferences. Refer to "Preferences" on page 39 for more information.

4 A message will flash in the Preview Window. Select the second “picture” from

the Library in the form of an image or video file by dragging it there.

Note: If you already have a PiP file applied to the original clip, a dialog box will appear to ask

you in replacing your original file after you have dragged the new file to the Preview

Window. Click OK.
