Hi,
im trying to do a video in a picture inside picture format - i added a photo to show you (https://imgur.com/zCuPyFn)
The "inside picture" part contain multiple videos, and i want to create the illusion it's the same video - so i used the pip designer to use the same position, but when im trying to zoom inside one of the medias, to make it look similiar to the previous clip, the position of the clip changes, and clip resizes. My question is - how can i zoom inside a clip (not in motion) without the clip resizing or moving from it's position?
Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand exaclty what you're trying to do, and every detail matters with regard to giving suggestions.

Basically, you'll probably need to use masks to zoom in on the content while keeping the external size and shape the same. You may actually want to take all of the individual PiP clips and make then into a single video beforehand, as that would probably save you a lot of time compared to trying to match each one individualy to the the existing PiP format.

Hi dorkhan -

I'm not sure this is exactly the kind of thing you mean, but maybe it'll help.

Cheers - Tony
