Can someone give me an idea on how to do a side by side video of a powerpoint presentation alongside the speaker talking about it. I am thinking that the only way to do it is through using a PIP process but I did not know if there was another design studio process I could use.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi there EWriter63 -

Apart from having the two videos "side by side" there are lots of other possibilites for different layouts.

Some are shown in the attached PDF, including screenshots of PD's timeline and preview screen.

Cheers - Tony

Nice info Tony. Sometimes a pdf is indeed worth a thousand words!

The basic idea is to put each video track on a separate line on top of each other- Video one & Video 2, then click each one and select the Modify Tab. Now grab the corners of the video and resize them smaller to fit side by side or on top of each other or move them around so they can be seen when played.
