also is there a way to move the pip clips in the media player other than using the mouse? are you able to use the cursor arrows somehow?

Hi jon,

Don't think you can 'set' a size - however Dafydd produced a set of 'guide matrices' that make the PiP positioning easier. They are .png in other PiP tracks, used for positioning and then deleted when not needed.

They might help.

Is this what you mean?:-
Select a PiP track and double click to edit. In this PiP designer window the PiP screen position can be adjusted by the arrow keys.

Cheers

Hi Everyone,

This subject has come up before, and it would indeed be very useful to have a tool so you could easily, quickly, and consistently “size” (to the exact same size), a series of PIP’s in a project. Perhaps it could be in the form of a right click option like... “AutoFit” or something. Where one would have at least 5 pre-set “size” or “percent of screen” options to choose from.
[ For example... 20% - 40% - 60% - 80%- 100% ...”Of Screen”.]

And of course, a way to... “Lock All To Same Position”, would also be welcome.

I’ve added this to the “Suggestion Box” at...
