‘but in principle this is what I would like to do — cut something from one area and place it in another area!!’
With the links I gave you, I was trying to show you the right direction:
Place one picture into another picture (PIP or Picture in Picture) is described in the first tutorial which deals with track motion.
To cut a piece out of a picture (or video or whatever you place on the timeline) is called cropping and is described in the last tutorial talking about the pan/crop window.
The other 2 tutorials give you some more ideas how you can play with this PIP to increase your creative possibilities
‘Sorry if you gave me the answer and it is infact in one of those tutorials, although I did not see it, and sorry for bothering you’
No problem, I hope that things are more clear now. If not, just ask again…
