Creating a picture on picture effect

Having a background movie or still image and playing another one in front of parts of it is very easy in VideoCanvas. Basically you drop a movie on top of another.

Creating a picture in picture effect:

  1. Drop the background image or movie into the screen canvas.

  2. Drop the foreground image or movie into the screen canvas.
    Foreground
  3. In this example we want to stretch the image to fit within the TV of the background so we add a Perspective Tile filter.

  4. Finally we add a Bump Distortion filter to better fit the curved TV screen and adjust the coloring by making the image slightly transparent using the Transparency filter, brighter using the Exposure filter and bluer with the White Point Adjust filter.
