Picture in Picture. Can I move it around using Pan/Crop

OK this is similar to the previous post but thought it best to start a new one.

I have occasional stills appearing over the top of a video track. I want to have the stills in one corner of the frame. I have used Pan/Crop to resize the still image and Track Motion to move it into the corner, but do I hear that I can move the image around the frame using Pan/Crop and don't need Track Motion for this, if so I can't work out how to do it.

Use Pan/crop to pan around the event or crop it, track motion to reduce it down and move it around for the pip.

You can zoom far out with the pan/crop to have a similar effect, but it's not the same.

I prefer Trackmotion to create a PiP, especially when more PiP's should have the same size and place. Just create a PiP track with the desired Trackmotion settings and every still on that track becomes a PiP. Just use Pan/crop tool for panning/cropping.

Thanks guys. Looks like I'm doing it right anyway.

Ofcourse you can also use the pan/crop tool to create a single PiP, but then you cannot crop that PiP anymore.
