This video we're going to look at picture in picture now, I got a special request to make this video
and I know YouTube is out there, need that picture in picture action to get your face up on the corner
of the screen.
It's really quite easy to do.
You're not going to see my face in the corner of the screen because I don't want to scare you so much.
But in order to get a picture in picture, what we need to do is a couple of things.
Now, again, I'm going to repeat, if you don't know how I've got the stuff on the screen, go on,
watch the basics.
One video I'll teach you everything about getting your movie started, getting your clips inside Lightworkers
and then moving them around and editing them.
So don't try to guess what to do.
It's going to be too confusing.
So really, a picture and picture is one picture on top of another picture, or if you like, a movie
clip on top of another movie clip.
Now, you can see I have got my face here.
And if I play it, you'll see it kind of plays for just a few seconds is not the longest clip in the
world, really.
What you want to do is take the video of your face or your talking and have that already imported on
top of everything else that you need.
So for most YouTube as that will be a screen cost of their computer screen, plus a camera capturing
their face.
So let's take this Lombard Street clip over here.
I'm just going to make it a little bit longer.
And you can see I've made my mistake, I'm not following my own videos, let me just undo that, disable
the audio and do that again.
So let's take that Lombard Street so that it's a nice long clip for this video.
We won't really be messing around with the audio.
So what I want to do is I want to take this video, which is me, and place it on top of the Lombard
Street video, which is here.
So pressing.
Oh, my keyboard.
I'll get back to the start now.
Of course, if I just pick this clip up and put it down, all I'm doing is actually overwriting the
Lombard Street.
That's actually not what I want to is.
Let me just undo that.
I'm going to.
Right.
Click anywhere on the tracks and I'm going to go tracks and add video, because what I want to do is
add a new video track.
And it's important that my video track is on top of the original video track.
So let's get my.
Face, and I'm going to put it in there.
Let me just close a preview and and you can see there's a problem here and it's a big problem because
all I've done is put my face on top of that clip.
So it's not really picture in picture.
It's picture on picture.
So I'm going to go to the VFX.
I'm going to click on the plus, and I want to choose the DVR, the digital video effect, what I'm
going to do, because we've got way too much choice here and you have a whole bunch of, if you like,
picture in picture one.
So if I was to, for example, just double click this, you can see it moves my picture and puts it
at an angle.
I've seen some picture and pictures that do this myself.
I don't prefer this.
I think it's not a nice look.
So what I tend to do is I go directly to the 2D DV and I'm just going to double click that.
And it seems like nothing happens until I go over to this little part where it says scale and go to
the master.
I'm just going to move it in a bit like so.
Now, depending on your picture in picture, you know, we really want it at a slightly smaller scale,
so about there and then what I want to do is just move it.
Until it's exactly where I wanted to be, so that would be most probably where I would put a picture
on picture, either there or on the right hand side.
But for this video, I'm going to put it here now.
If we were to play this, you can see that when it reaches the Lombard Street scene, my face is going
to be at the top and I'm talking away.
And that's how you do picture in picture.
Now, another request I got was to show how to put images or pictures into our movies.
And for this to happen, all you need to do is make sure you've got the picture and that you've imported
it in.
So you'll see that I've got this picture of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Now, if I was to double click, that Light Works treats it exactly the same as a movie clip.
So if you play it, you'll see it starts playing.
Now, one of the problems is that the clip is going to play for a huge amount of time, 40 or so seconds,
in fact.
So if I was to use my keyboard press.
A and let's say we wanted to put the semi disabled that track, let's say we wanted to put the Golden
Gate Bridge into the middle of that, I can easily do that just by clicking on the insert.
And what you'll notice is that you get an incredibly long clip, as I said, 40 seconds.
So it completely takes over your movie.
So let's just undo that.
So what I normally do with a image that I want to put in my video is very simply press my spacebar press
and I.
Oh, just so that we have a shorter version of it and then insert that into the movie, which is far
more workable than a 40 second clip, and if we were to play this movie now.
You're going to see that we just get an image in there like this.
Now, one thing that you might not like is that you have.
The black bars now.
What I would advise is go back to Google or wherever you got your pictures from and get a slightly better
shaped picture without the black if in case you have to use the picture that you've got.
Again, we can fix that by going to the VFX plus a DVD.
And what we're going to do is throw in a 2D DVD here.
And what we can do is we can scale it up a bit just to get rid of that black bar or whatever issue that
you've got.
So that's a really quick way of fixing a problem with a photograph as well.
So what you'll find is the 2D DVD is one of the most useful effects that Lightworkers has, and you'll
use it a lot, especially if you're throwing pictures into there.
Again, just going further.
It's also possible to take a picture and use it as a picture in picture or a picture on picture kind
of scenario.
And that is quite useful as well, especially if you need to show something on the screen, which you
only have a photograph of, that might be like a, you know, a review video on YouTube.
And you want to show the product in the air above you or by the side of you as you talking.
So in that case, will just enable that video track that we had our picture in picture.
And what we're going to do is we're simply going to pick up the Golden Gate Bridge and we're going to
throw it down anyway we want to.
And again, we have to do exactly what we did before, which is the VFX.
We have to go back to our DVD, a 2D video on that, and then scale it down a little bit like so.
And then we can move it wherever we want to so that we have a picture.
On video like so.
So hopefully this video has been useful for those of you who want to get your face onto the screen or
a picture onto the screen.
