Resizing and Moving images on the screen

Is there a way to take an image, make it like a small square and then move that image to somewhere in the upper left hand corner? So far all I've found is pan and zoom for working with keyframs but not something to just make a picture smaller and move it somewhere else on the screen?

Yes, you can. To make the pic smaller you go to the track's controls, not the clip's. Check the icons on the video track placeholder, on the left.

What exactly am I looking for on that, I believe I know what you're speaking of but there are a lot of buttons over there haha

There are only 6 icons on the video track placeholders, and the best way to learn is to actually try by clicking things and see what they do. In any way, you use "Track Motion" icon and the keyframes at the bottom of the window that loads up when you click that icon.

oh yeah I clicked on that one and didn't realize what it was doing, lol, probably should pay more attention, thanks!

Pan/Crop works great for this, and i prefer it over Track Motion. Drag the cropping rectangle out larger than the image to make it smaller, then drag the frame around to position the image within that frame.
