Cut Video NOT audio

You can unlink the audio from the video and then option drag it up as a Connected clip.

Adding to Eric’s advice, if doing multicam, you could cut the video in multicam mode.

Or

If you want the PinP effect, just drag the “second” video on top of the existing video. Reduce second video (top video) in size, and you have your PinP effect.

Oops I read copy video.

As suggested by an earlier reply, cut the video that you want to PIP at both ends. Hold the Option key and drag the clip upward from the timeline to make a copy of that clip as a connected clip. Then reduce the audio of the connected clip to -infinity. Resize the connected clip to the desired size and modify its X and Y coordinates to position it where you want it to be for the PIP. You can even add a Border or Shadow effect to the PIP if you want to.

I should add that if you don’t want the audio disconnected but not audible, you can also select the clip and check the Audio tab in the Inspector, and shut off the audio there.
