How to position Picture in Picture video coordinates

Post by lixgbg »

Hi

Is it possible to define the position (coordinates) where a Picture in Picture video should be overlaid onto the master video? Please see attached photo, it is a screenshot of a video I have produced. I would like my cockpit camera to not obstruct the master video but move it to the lower right corner, and ultimately increase its size a bit. Is this possible? How?

Is it also possible to move the telemetry and information block from lower left corner to more lower/centered position?

Thanks in advance,
Henrik

Provided you use one of the standard video resolutions, the PiPs are always aligned in the top right. In your case, you have used an unsupported resolution (use HD, Full HD, UHD 4K) and LapTimer uses the lower left area only. To get a proper overlay, create a 4k UHD copy of the video and overlay it again.

Yeah it would be really useful to at least be able to confgure which corner individual overlay goes to.

Having the PiP on the top right corner wouldn't be very friendly to RHD vehicle...

As shown here (this is not the best example coz the master video was captured as 2.7K hence the PiP kinda placed near the rear view mirror but imagine if it is in a 1080p video it would be right on my face :D
