Picture In Picture

I think this may have been asked in the past.

I am trying to do a picture in picture with one movie playing in the
top right hand corner of the other, with no fading etc.
I have:
- used virtualdub to reduce the movie size and cast it with a blue
background
- used the croma transition (from Papajohn's site and originally from
this group?)to make the blue tranparent - this works really well!

But the movie plays in the centre of the page. I cant find either an
MM transition or a vdub filter that will allow me to move the actual
movie to the top right of a screen.

I am not competent with either xml or c++ so would not be able to
create directx instructions myself.

Does anyone know of anything I can use - either freeware or commercial
that will do what I want in Windows Movie Maker?

TIA

Rob

Rob,

I uses Virtual Dub to do it... see www.papajohn.org - the Do Amazing Things
> Part I > Chapter 2 > click on the image for the focus item

You can see that the reduced size video in Virtual Dub was in the middle,
and how I got it to play along the bottom.... let me know if I can better
word the info to help you get it from the middle to where you want it.

In reading the page myself, I just wanted to add the note that the movement
of the video from the middle of the screen to the border I wanted it at was
by using a Pixelan Pan/Zoom effect, not by using Virtual Dub.

Hello Rob,

Why not obtain the free copy of MovieXone and do all that you want simply
by drag and drop. Its a lot less hassle and the results are very
proffesional (You can also rotate video as if it were a plane surface in
three dimensions)

It seems that *the file is no longer available*... :-((

Oh yes !!! only the best here.

OK, I have found it...It is MovieXone Version 4 and it is free, so no
copyright problems for you. Its 24,426KB in size. I will put it up on my
website shortly.....problem there is that I am redesigning the site and its
not ready for upload. I will post another message here when its actually
available for you.

Best Wishes

Hi there,

Rob or Zulu!!! and anyone else.........

The file is uploading to my site as I type. Watching the progress bar
its a lot slow!!! so maybe give it 10 - 15 mins from now. You will see a
button on the left hand side of the screen marked MovieXone...and get ready
for a bit of a learning curve followed by "Wow"...after that I upgraded to
MovieDV version 6....and the cost is peanuts compared to its equivelant
Adobe package.

Best Wishes.....John Kelly

P.S. better make that 20 - 25mins...its going very slow indeed.

You're a star! :-))
