Hi, I am new to video editing and am using Movie Studio 9 platinum pro pack. I'd like to achieve an effect where multiple boxes of video are being displayed at once against a black background. Something like you would see on the television show "24".
I know I can move a FULL size video anywhere I want on the screen, but I'd like to be able to pan/zoom wherever I want inside the individual clips, as well as position that clip onto the screen.
This doesn't seem possible because video zooming seems to be tied directly to Pan/Crop tool, which is also used make the video clip small and reposition it. So I can't pan/zoom into the video and pan/zoom out of the clip (to make it smaller) at the same time then? Or can you somehow stack pan/zoom operations?
The only way I can think of doing it would be to do my initial zooming on the clip, render that to a new clip, then use that new clip in the "24" effect. Thats way more work than it should be though! Any ideas?
