Border Around Picture-in-Picture
Help!
I just can’t seem to figure this out. I’m experimenting with PIP, which is working out to be very easy. What I did was place a video clip at the top of the timeline and another underneath it. Then I just zoomed out on the top clip, and voila! PIP. Now what I want to do is add a small border around the PIP. So I’m trying to do this by adding a Sony Event FX. I right click the top clip and select Event FX. One of the presets is Sony Border. But when I select this effect, it applies to the full screen, not the PIP frame. I don’t get it. If I choose anything else, the effect applies only to the PIP frame, not the main video image. But when I do a border it doesn’t work.
Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong or is this a bug?
Thanks,

You didn’t say so I’m assuming that you’re using Pan/Crop and not Track Motion to do the PIP.
Either way, here’s the solution.
Open the FX window, look just to the left of where it says Border (bottom left of the FX window) and you’ll notice a small arrow (Pre/Post Toggle) that’s pointing towards the word Border.
Click it so that it’s pointing the other way (the Post part of Pre/Post) and it’ll be around the PIP’d image 🙂 -
Thank you! That did the trick. Wow…you talk about counter-intuitive. I would have never found that tiny little arrow had you not told me where it is. Vegas is awesome, but the user interface could stand some tweaks to make it more user friendly.
