Hello to all,

I am trying to use the transition effects (for example Grid circle) to a picture in picture (an actual picture) that is superposed to a background.

Whenever I do this, the transition applies to the whole screen instead of yhe selected object only.

Not sure how to proceed, here is what I have in mind:

1. Produce a clip of my picture in full screen, then add it as a PIP object.

Is there any other way I should do it?

TIA
Marc

Pre-produce the PiP image using a green screen and transition. I'll explain better after lunch, but basically open PD, put a plain green image or color board on the time line. Place your image after that. Add the transition and produce that. Then open your project and add the movie clip that you just produced. adjust the size and click the Modify button. Check the box to use a chromakey and select the green color. Close the PiP designer and play the clip to see if that is the result that you are looking for. __________________________________

I understand that you want to transition to a full small image over another so that the transition appears only in image smaller.
I create the image (lower) in normal size with transitions, saved to file
After this I add a PIP for reducing a smaller frame on the background image in full screen AMD-FX 8350 / 8GB DDR3

Jaime-esque, thanks for your suggestion, I had it almost right except for the green screen...

Much appreciated.
