Bah, please help, I can't figure it out...
I see how it can resize, but i can't get the movement to go away...
It's supposed to grow up from a corner...

Hi,

I don't quite know what you mean by "i can't get the movement to go away". If you could please be specific with your questions it would make it easier to solve your problem.

I'm assuming you want to start with a small picture in a corner then have it grow to full screen but this will involve movement.

First click on the motion tab (in modifying PIP) then choose a movement such as the one where it starts from the bottom right & curves up to the left. Move the picture (the red dot) until it is where you want to start from & resize if necessary. Straighten out the curve (just move it so it's straight). Then move the end point to the centre of the screen.

Now this next step is important. Under the play/slider control you should see a number 1 with an arrow each side. Click on the right arrow to choose the 2nd keyframe. Then just resize the picture until it fills the screen. Done.

If you want to make it fill the screen then stay there for a while, just select the 1st keyframe again (or move the slider back a bit out of the way) then move the thin green line at the far right way back to the left.

Hope that helps. Let me know if it works for you.

Regards,

Peter B.

Not done. That's what I was doing...
That's where it goes wrong...:
Go back to 1st keyframe, and the PiP has moved...
Reposition... Go back to 2nd, and the PiP has moved... (Can go on forver like that)
Driving me mad... And I can't delete that movement arrow...
I want it to start aligned from a corner, grow to full screen, then shrink back to the corner.... But the green movement arrow is messing up the effect because it wants a movement... The closest I got to the wanted result was by shrinking it (the green arrow) to minimum, but even that is not usable...

Ok, I THINK I figured it out... hehe, or I just got lucky...
But there really should be a template for this effect...
The hard part is getting that arrow to point exactly towards the center, reduce it's size and try to make it end at the exact center of the clip....

Another problem: even if my green arrow is perfectly straight, the PiP gets twisted 1 degree so it gets a little "jump" (because then the clip is cut, and it continues a bit in a full sized PiP)

Good to hear you got it. Yeah some tweaking might be needed.
At least you can save the motion once you've got it right in case you want to use it again.

Yea, now I got it
Thx..
The thing (that took most time for me to get) was to get that green arrow to point to center (add gridlines helps)
(In my logics, the effect I wanted = no motion, just resizing)
all good now
