Hoping this is a straightforward one. All the rendered picture in picture segments do not match what the VP preview window displayed. Thank you!
Check your project settings, 1791×828 is not a legal resolution.
Sorry, can you be more specific as to what is occurring and what I should basically do?
Set your Project Properties to the correct dimensions before adding any timeline effect, including picture in picture.
The Effects Properties do not change if you decide to change the Project Dimensions after the fact, causing a mismatch.
There's no way to salvage this without changing the project dimensions and repositioning all the PIP placements?
First you can't edit video using odd numbers, so you have to change that to get a valid render. Pretty sure it needs to be divisible by 8.
Once you do that you'll need to fix whatever Fx are tied to the project resolution. Then you can render to whatever resolution you like.
For argument's sake, are you saying I could change the project dimensions just slightly to 1792 x 832 (numbers divisible by 8) and it'll render with the PIP positions basically where they were?
@skrootayp Also keep in mind that your rendertemplate should have the same dimensions.
BTW why did you start with those dimensions and not with the dimensions of your footage?
Hi @skrootayp
Sorry that my first reply didn't contain enough detail. Some side issues have been raised that appeal to clarification.
1. Set your Project Dimensions to your desired output dimensions, they should be even numbers (refer to #5 and #6 below).
2. Open your Picture in Picture filter and adjust the display to your wishes.
3. Render without changing the Project Dimensions again.
4. When in doubt, refer to instruction #3.
5. 1792 x 828 should work fine for the AVC /MP4 render using the Magix Software AVC Encoders (Mainconcept or Sony AVC), because they are both Modulus 2.
6. If you will be rendering to a hardware encoder (NVENC, QSV, or AMD), do so at their exact output template dimensions, because nothing else will probably work.
7. I have tested these instructions, and assuming that you follow these steps in order, no further speculation should be necessary.
I don't honestly remember how I came to those dimensions. It's a compilation of different footage from various sources. I think I just assumed that since the render template was customizable that I'd generally be okay. This project kinda called me out of vid editing hiatus by surprise. Thank you guys so much for your time. Thank you mark-y. I'll give it a go.
