It is possible to split it but not drag it to the PIP window that I know of. You would have to produce the section that you want in the PIP window so that you can add the physical footage to the library. Once in the library, drag the footage to the PIP track.

You can't drag split sections of video from the timeline back to the library. The library pretty much contains physical file footage. When it's cut you simply have pointers telling it to cut and split the base footage at given locations. Again you could produce the 5 sections so that you have them as files and then import them to the library.

Hi,

You can actually do this, you are just going about it the wrong way.

When the hour long clip is in your library, right click on it and select "Detect Scenes". Click on the Detect button and it will automatically split the video out based on the clips inside the video. You can even do it manually if you like.

Now you can then place the original video on the timeline and then you can easily place any of the detected scenes in the PiP area.

Thanks
