When I move the picture in picture box, the picture moves at a slower rate and does not stay within the box. I would like it to stay within the box as I move the box, obviously.
@beaverbrook It's because your image is square, (not the size of your project. eg 500 x 500),
Solo that top track, set the Preview to Best - (Full), then Save Snapshot to file, that will create an image the same as your project, replace the one that's on the timeline with the new 16:9 1920x1080 image in Project Media ,

I'd rather do it right from the beginning, instead of trying to fix it with a hack. Is there a way to make sure the image is correctly sized from the beginning?
Thanks.

@beaverbrook Yeah make it the right size when you created it then but that isn't always poss,
Lots of software has this problem or similar, If i add Mocha pro to a clip that isn't the same size as the project it gives false tracking data, In Adobe AE sometimes you have to Pre-Compose the media to make it work with whatever fx you're adding, This isn't a hack,
Also you're adding the Picture in Picture on as a Media FX, if you just dragged the PinP FX on the image as a Video Event FX or on to the track as a Video Track FX you wouldn't have this problem.

Yes, you are right. I misunderstood how the software works.
There is an automatic "pan/crop" FX that is added to most video effects and that crop defaults to a smaller plane than the plane of the video track it is located within. This makes sense because a "Picture in Picture" would usually want to be the smaller picture within the larger picture, otherwise it wouldn't be visible.
