I know that it means picture in picture but the full possibility of this feature escapes me. I'd love to see examples. I've created a simple example of a video of myself kayaking put within a frame within a photo- the photo was taken in one of the big art museums in NYC. My wife is standing there staring at the - what was some famous painting- but I put my video over the frame. And I suppose it's possible to have many frames with videos in them- and have the frames moving around- but I need to see examples. My little video is at: https://vimeo.com/116345679. The options within the PiP room aren't obvious what to do with them. I can experiment and will but seeing some videos would help a lot.

Also, does this web site have a section with links to member's videos? It would be very helpful. If so, I haven't found it yet. Or maybe people just put their work on YouTube, Vimeo and other sites?

thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe, You may get better answers if you had posted in the part of the forum for the program version you are using. Currently you posted this in the PowerDVD part of the forum. PowerDVD is a player. You want one of the PowerDirector forums.

In the meantime, look at this tutorial There are a lot of good tutorials in the Learning Center. .

stevek is right that this post needs to go in the PowerDirector forum for the best responses.

It looks like that you did well placing the video below the track with the still photo and resizing it. To place a new video on the left frame showing in the photo just place it on the next lower track and resize it.

Stevek, oops--- I know better and wasn't paying attention. I actually thought I was posting to the version forum. I'll do that and I'll check out the Learning Center.

thanks!
