Ah -

No - there's no way to set that as a preference. Each clip/image has to be treated separately. Sorry I misread your post.

When oh when will Cyberlink ever finally address this longstanding issue of shaking and jerking in PowerDirector’s PIP Motion?
No fix in PD7. No fix in PD8. No fix in PD9.
Maybe in PD10?

Just for fun I tried a much larger map (higher resolution) as a background and the jerkyness during the zoom and panning was less...it seemed smoother.

At this point, the jerky PIP motion is unforgiveable. Looks totally like amatuer hour when they play. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Here's my TopGear spoof I did recently using some otherwise very boring footage of use driving!

Some of these shots has four concurrent PiP tracks.
I found the limiting factor was that because they were separate tracks it was hard getting them to move together
I'd prefer a way to move them together as single items then group them to move them
Hope this is useful
