Using Moving Paths - Ulead MEDIASTUDIO PRO 7 User Manual

Using Moving Paths

Moving Paths are invisible lines that an overlay clip can follow during an
animation. In the simplest case, a clip can move from a starting key frame
position to an ending one. More complex Moving paths can rotate and zoom
clips in three dimensions.
To create a Picture-in-Picture:
Place a clip for the background on the Va track, and the clip to appear
1.
as the foreground directly over it in an overlay track (V1).
From the Production Library, drag-and-drop the Right Upper thumbnail
2.
from the Picture in Picture folder onto the clip in the overlay track. The
2D Basic Moving Path dialog box opens.
Click the Keep aspect ratio option and enter a new width value of
3.
one-third the size of the original in the Width spin box for both the
start and end key frames.
Drag the Start control point to the location where you want the
4.
overlay video to appear.
Click on the End control point. Manually enter the X and Y positions to
5.
match the Start control point. Since the key frame settings are the same,
there is no animation interpolated between them.
Click OK to close the dialog box and apply the path.
