Picture in Picture "zooming" issue

Mar 8, 2012 5:04 AM

Hi there,

 

I was wondering if the following can be done. I have made a good ol' picture in picture sequence by just scaling down one video on top of another and moving it to the bottom right corner. Easy. Now, what I want to do is zoom in on the image in the smal picture (on the bottom right corner) by scaling up again. I thought I could do this by putting a mask around it with a track matte but it just scales the whole image up again instead of staying the same size.

 

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, how it should be done and/or if it's possible at all?

 

Thanks a lot,

 

Sebastiën

    It's a shame Pr doesn't have a track matte effect that would make this simple.  Here's what I'd do:  Make a new Sequence with Custom settings that's 1/4 the size of your main sequence (if 1/4 is the amount of scaling for your PIP).  Put your footage in that Seq, and zoom away.  Then put that sequence as a layer in your main sequence.

    Thanks very much Jim and sorry for the late response. Instead of the custom settings I just zoomed in in the new sequence. Then copied the sequence as a layer in my main sequence, worked perfectly.
