  • Picture-in-Picture using Track Motion – main/rear video is invisible/black/blank

    Posted by Christine Neuvil on August 20, 2017 at 9:09 pm

    Hi. On the timeline,
    the small picture’s track is above the main picture’s track;
    the track levels are both at 100%;
    neither track is set as Mute or Unique;
    there are no other media effects anywhere.
    And yet, the main/underneath/behind video is invisible/black.
    That’s in editing / preview mode. When I render it, I get the same result.
    The same happens if I eliminate track motion and instead use pan&crop on any one event.
    If I click compositing mode parent or child, nothing changes.
    Have you ever experienced the main picture being invisible? Any idea how I can fix it?
    Thanks

    Using Vegas Pro 13 on Windows 10.

    Any chance to share a project file for download?

    Solved. The small/inset video had been spliced. When I deleted that track and re-added the video, the P-in-P worked. I guess Track Motion only works on unspliced / single-event videos. The P-in-P stays in effect if I do then splice and delete sections.
    (Thanks Marco for offering help.)
