Video wall in Excalibur?

Can anyone tell me what else needs to be done in order to use
the video wall tool in Excalibur. I've followed the instructions in
the manual and can't seem to get it right.

After placing four clip's on separate tracks, I clicked on the topmost event and shift click on the bottommost event. Open the video wall and PIP screen in Excalibur and selected 2x2 and checked the ingnore safe area. What I get are four very small screen images,
and sometimes two small images in the upper right coner of the preview window. Same results using the PIP tool.

Are there other setting that I need to make in order to get the images
to fill out the preview screen. Thanks!!!

I'm guessing these are NOT standard DV-AVI files? It sounds like your file is not full frame size. Using NTSC for an example, I can place four tracks of video (at 720x480) and follow your procedure and all will work fine. If I take some video at 360x240, I'll get the symptoms you describe. You may try rendering each track out to standard DV-AVI and then use those four new files for creating the video wall.
