However, I found while using theoptions within the Keyframe settings area, I was able to do more than I could in the PIP Designer, with greater accuracy in placement of Keyframes in the Timeline, the positioning of the picture, which now will brings us to the H Scale, W Scale, Rotation, Freeform Top-Left, Freeform Top-right, Freeform Bottom-Left, Freeform Bottom-Right functions found both the PIP Designer and the Keyframe-Clip Attributes areas.
I started off reading the PD10 manual about Keyframes and searching for articles on the H Scale and W Scale functions and how to use them. So what are Clip Attributes, add/remove a Keyframe, the Opacity, H scale, W Scale, Freeform Top-Left, Freeform Top-right, Freeform Bottom-Left, Freeform Bottom-Right. I made a tutorial, which I will try to explain these functions and how they are then tied into Keyframes as well. Please see the Youtube video and please excuse my voice for I have a cold.
The Keyframe settings allows one to have more of a precise positioning setting environment where as in the PIP Designer allows one to a general positioning area. It just depends on the user and their requirements Keyframes settings tab also offers Color Adjustments, such as the Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation, Sharpness, Color Temperature and White Balance, just as one would in the Fix/Enhance setting tab.
So now you know, each to their own way of doing things, but then be willing to let others know how you accomplished it as well.
Enjoy and help others learn CLPD.
Here is the tutorial from YouTube I made:
