Frame around video

On Television you often see a frame around the picture. And inside this frame is the movie.
This is also possible in Studio Pinnacle, here is how you can achieve this.

To do so you have to make a frame in a photoediting program. Or look on the internet doing a search on photoframes.
Use a picture in the editing software where you can make a "hole in it" and make a "transparent background" (mask or alpha layer). For those kinds of pictures I used several backgrounds supplied with the Pinnacle program. When you look at those backgrounds you can see that there are many where the place for the hole is already black or another solid color. Simply cut that part out in the photoediting program, save this part as a mask or alpha layer and there is your first videoframe.
Save that picture in .tif format (or .png) and make sure that the transparent layer will be kept in the picture.

This frame you can put like any other photo on the overlay track on the timeline in Studio. The result you can see below.


As well as a small video example:
