SuzC Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi, I have a PiP, and would like to put a thin white border around it. I've tried using the Border FX, but it puts it around the whole video, not the PiP. I've also put a blank behind the PiP, but it refuses to show. Thank you, Suz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Place the smaller (insert) image on track 2, then apply your preferred border effect to it. Place the background image on track one. Scale and position the track 2 image, which will allow track one to appear in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzC Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hi Borate, I'm afraid it doesn't work. Even though I select Border from the Effects menu in the PiP video, it applies the border to the whole video, not the PiP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Tested again successfully. Add the background and insert images to the timeline, with the insert on a higher track. Apply the border effect to the insert image track ONLY. Then apply SCALE and POSITION effects to that track as desired. Use the current version. For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months from purchase date. After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest. Retain your old install file and registration info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that the border remains the same relative width. Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
