Producing multi-clip effects like “24”

[Eddie Lotter]

I have never seen “24” but it sounds like you want to do a picture-in-picture effect.

Every video clip on the timeline has a motion setting in its effect controls palette. Inside that drop down is a scale parameter and a position parameter. By layering clips on top of each other and adjusting those parameters for each, you will achieve the look you are going for.

Wow, never saw “24”! Jack Bauer may come after YOU next season.

Thanks. I’ll work in it tonight.

I really appreciate all the help on this site!

Here is a specific video tutorial that even mentions trying to emulate the 24 type pip effect.

Thanks for posting. That tutorial is among the tutorials I linked to in reply #1. 🙂

Thanks! Looks slick and relatively easy.

BTW, when I place several video streams in a single view, the preview monitor plays back kind of choppy. Is that cured once one renders the final output?

It should be, yes, however some people have reported that even their exports are not smooth.

I suggest you do a test to see what happens on your system.
