Here’s how to use Vegas Video  to create a picture in picture effect.

                                       

1. Import your footage, and any Hotcakes background movie. We selected the PinkSatin loop from Wedding Essentials Vol 1. 2. Put your footage on Track 1 and PinkSatin on Track2

NOTE: Copy all Digital Hotcakes animations from CD or DVD to your video hard drive before importing them.

                                                                       

	3. Click on the Track Motion icon for Track 1. Drag the handles inward to make the clip smaller. You can also reposition the clip by moving the box.
