Multi picture in picture

Is it possible with Vegas Movie Studio to create more than 1 picture in picture playing at the same time ?

I want to make videos with 1 or 2 guitars and several singers and chores and I want to have pop-ups pictures in the main video when each one is playing or singing (and not all the time). I need the availabilty of at least 4 tracks at the same time.

@bdsl You should be able to achieve this using animated track motion on the number of tracks you need.

Interesting, it's not exactly what I wanted to do but it can work ... My first idea was to have a main picture full screen and some popups opening and closing when necessary

Thank you, but could you explain a little more, I just intend to buy Vegas Movie Studio and I don't already use it. I want to know if I can do what I want before buying

If you're just going to try a Movie Studio version now, forget the basic version and consider only the MS Platinum.

@bdsl Thank you, but could you explain a little more.

It's a little too involved to describe here, but.
Basically you need to stack your individual videos on different tracks, with your main video on the bottom track.
Then use track motion to scale the individual videos down to your required size.
Use track motion animation to move the individual videos from off the screen to your desired position on the screen over a period of time.
Search YouTube for tutorials on track motion animation to get you started. Once you understand the basics, it'll all become clear.

I'll emphasise what @vkmast says. Don't go for the Basic version, you'll be disappointed.

Many thanks. I agree with you, my choice will be the Platinum version
