    Hi,
    I am completely new to FCP and I am quite efficient on Adobe premier. I know they’re very similar but I need to know how to take a clip of my girlfriends late father singing and put it in the corner of the mother & son dance at their wedding! Thank you so much! I searched all forums but don’t even know the proper terminology to search under! Thank you again!

    You could lay the inset clip (or what will be) above the base clip in the timeline, the select the inset clip and hit Enter to load it into the viewer. You can then select the Motion tab in the viewer and change the Scale and Crop properties to create your Picture-in-Picture.

    AWESOME! Ok my video smart man! Now I want to go 1 step further! How do I make it so when I finalize and burn the DVD the small clip I just put in the upper corner can be viewed by hitting the angle button or removed and the main clip plays without the small clip? Can I do that? If so, how? Thanks again!

    Whoa!

    That’s a whole other nightmare!

    This isn’t a DVD Studio Pro forum, but in broad strokes, you will need to create 3 separate clips (one for the whole cut with the double-up, one for each clean section) and then create angles in your DVD project using these 3 assets.

    Tricky but do-able.

    Yes, Enzo is great. DVD Studio Pro simplifies many parts of the DVD production process but there is still a lot of techno voodoo involved in creating DVDs and it is something that you will not learn without a lot of blood, sweat and tears.

    You may wish to ask your question in the Cow’s DVD Studio Pro forum (if you have DVDSP) or in the iDVD forum here at the Calf if you do not.

    Best regards,
