Shrink or interlace videos
Videos can be made smaller, e.g. in order to display a foreground video in a
section of a background video. Both videos must be arranged appropriately
in the arranger.
 Place two videos one above the other in the tracks.
 Place the foreground video on the track below the background video.
Note: Make sure that the mixing effect "Stamp" is active under "Video
effects -> Chroma key".
 Select the foreground video
 In the Media pool under "Effects -> Movement effects", select the entry
"Position/Size" or "Crop/Zoom".
 Click and hold down the mouse button on the edges of the video in the
program monitor to change the section or the size. The selected video may
also be moved to the desired position in the program monitor in the same
way.
For more detailed information, see the section entitled "Movement effects in
Media Pool" in the chapter "Effects (view page 116)".
