Suggestion on how to use the "Transition" 201-PIP_Inverse

Want to simulate a shoot made with two cameras? This little tutorial can help you to achieve this.

Final result :

Step 1 :

Start Pinnacle Studio and look for the charming Smile (if you have Studio 9), the rotating Pinnacle logo (if you have Studio 10), or the lovely Eye (if you have Studio 11).

Step 2 :

Insert two identical clips of any duration (the length of the effect will be the same as the duration of one clip). Here we used the third clip of the Pinnacle Clowns.mpg demo.

Step 3 :

Insert the "Transition" 201-PIP_Inverse.

The duration of the effect must match with the clip: stretch the effect completely to the right so it gets fully applied to the clip.

You get this ....

Step 4 :

Remove the Soundtrack of the 2nd clip to avoid any sound overlay issue.

Stretch the Timeline until you can see the 2nd clip.
Lock the Main video so only it's related Soundtrack is removed (click on the little track-locking button along the right edge of the Movie Window in Timeline view).
Select the Soundtrack of the 2nd clip.
Right click the audio and choose 'Delete'.

You get this :

5. Unlock the Main video track (click again on the track-locking button you just used before).

Step 5 :

Render this effect as a Video file. You will use it as plug-in in your main project. You might need to remove afew frames located at the beginning/end of the file where the overlay window is missing.

Now it's all done!

Want to locate the overlay window somewhere else? We look forward to publishing a tutorial to covering this aspect...

Note for advanced users: you can achieve the same result by applying this transition as a "plugin" to your video. In such a case, you need to render the second video (the PIP).
