  RE: Motion Tracking is inaccurate and loses its object.

  RE: Border Around Picture In Picture
  I take it you are using Pan/Crop to make the smaller picture, right? If so, open up the Video FX window for that event (I.e. that clip on the timeline) and near the top of that window you will see your "Pan/Crop" listed and the "Sony Border" listed

  Sorry for my ambiguity, but I showed a copy of the OP's screenshot. Because I always strictly reserve the crop function for an Event, like the track motion for a Track and use the PIP effect as an extra, I found it strange that someone on a new

  RE: How do I resize and position an image?
  Pan Crop is far better than track motion for resizing despite its limitations, because it treats the image at its native resolution. Track motion treats at project resolution. I do all my zoom/pans on stills with Pan Crop, never track motion.
