  • How to set Small Video (500 x 375) over Large (600 x 600)

    Is there a way to set a small-sized video clip over a larger one, keeping the smaller one at its original size?

    1. My final render size is 600 x 600 pixels.

    2. I have a 600 x 600 px border (like a picture frame) inside of which I want to fit some pre-rendered animation. There is a hole cut in this border which will take a video image of 500 x 375 px.

    3. The animation exists at 640 x 480 px (I also have smaller versions).

    4. I need to resize the animation to be 500 x 375 (approx 78% of its current size).

    How to do this? I know I can re-render the original clip at the new size, but cannot figure out how to set the smaller sized video (500 x 375) into the larger size of my project (600 x 600).

    if you’re setting it in as a picture frame look just use the distort tool to size it inside the bigger picture, which of course the smaller pic is on track 2 and it will work great. If it pic’s move use tracking in your motion tab.
