Creating a Picture in Picture Effect in Avid Xpress Pro
To create a PIP effect in Avid Xpress Pro, you must first have two video tracks with the desired footage placed over top of one another. You could perform the PIP effect with just one video track if you desired, but remember that the video in the track would then be placed on a black background. For this example, make sure you place the footage that you want to appear in the PIP effect on top of the footage that you wish to serve as the backdrop.
Open the Effects bin and under the Blend options select Picture-in-Picture.
Drag the PIP icon over the video clip in track 2. You will then see the effect in the Composer Window.
Click the Effects Mode icon
and you will see a bounding box surround your PIP effect. Click in the middle of the bounding box to move it and use the handles to change its size. In the Effect Editor Palette you will be able to further manipulate the PIP effect.
