  Picture-in-Picture settings

  Posted by Set Apart on February 6, 2008 at 10:10 pm

  Hey guys,
  I’m trying to do a simple Picture in picture effect with 3 video BOXES. I want them to look normal with equal size.

  Does anyone know the correct aspect and scaling?

  I’ve seen this effect many times on TV. I just need the right aspects so it doesn’t look stretched and everything looks smooth on a 4:3 screen.

  Thanks

  don’t change the aspect ratio. Just scale em down to fit.
  I start with one, get it the size I want then reappy it to ther other two tracks, just changing it’s position. This way. all three are exactly the same, no matter what size I select.

  Thanks.
  I just need to know how to get them all exactly even to fit perfectly with the 4:3 screen. I just figured there might have been a preset or something that I could apply.

  you’ll be re-applying the first box ya make, if that helps.
  You can just change it’s position after that.
