Your videos are always worth the time investment of watching. When explaining things like this new PIP feature you don’t just show the clip placement, sizing and cropping features and send us on our way to play. You go the extra mile and cover the benefits of integrating features like Croma Key and Transparency to make PIP even more powerful. Thank you for the extra lengths you go to.
I would like to send a special thanks to the makers of all the Pinnacle Studio video tutorials. All my video editing experience comes from you and that is why I brought Pinnacle Studio 22 today. I'm looking forward in watching this videos as references and all your near future videos. Keep up the good work as of today you got one more happy customer and of course I used the above link to order! 😀😎😍 For those newbies who brought something else 😛 Good Luck and try to have fun🤔 I am😁!
I love you videos! And I have a question. In the new pinnacle 22 ultimate can you do a PIP in a green screen clip and if so do you place the image for the PIP above the green screen clip or above the other background images serving as the backdrop to the green screen clip?
Hi,sorry, I woulkd like to know how to copy the same PIP between clips, and how to copy the same effects I ve attached on a single clip on the rest of the clips on the time line, Thanks😊
What do I like about your videos? (1) there are specific videos for Pinnacle Studio 20 - and that is the version that I have, (2) videos are detailed and quite complete and yet leave out a lot of talk that some videos have - some people go on and on (and on and on) about what they are going to teach you and some actually never teach you what you want to learn. I wanted a refresher for Picture in Picture and was taken right to what I wanted to know. Thank you so much. The thing I needed was that the person who made the video showed his TV screen. And a couple of times, the slide showing on the TV screen had a computer popup appear. I was able to (1) play the video, (2) take a screen print of the part that I needed to work with, (3) used the picture in picture and was able to place the screen print image that I saved and place where I wanted (I will not say exactly but almost). And I had to do this for two different slides for two different popups. I did find that using markers really helped me to get the screen print to overlay for the amount of time the popup was there. Sorry to go on and on .... but this helped me so much.
Malik can you please help me out i need a tutorial for making a Wedding video using Pinnacle 25 I've following you for yrs now and always like your tutorials.. Thanks
Great tutorial that even combines a little chroma keying! Also, you can PiP text too if you like! I always look forward to your tutorials. You can teach and old dog some new tricks!
another great video. Is it possible to do a video that speeds it up. I do machining and metal or wood working videos and would like to speed through the repetitive parts.
Hello sir, I saw this video with 2 boys and into ball. When the movie is play then te ball is rotating (good word?) but still on the same place. But I like it that the ball is moving with the movie together. Is that possible and what is the name of this? I hope you can understand my english. Greetz Ciska
Great tutorial Very helpful. thank you ! i was using PS U20 i was facing a some confutation is thare any way to copy the PIP (that actually shown in this tutorial) and past to outer clip......... Thanks in Advance for your Help..........
When you clicked on scale mode from within the effects editor I noticed that the bounding box appeared again. Does this mean that you can use the mouse to resize and move it and not have to use the sliders? thanks. Randy Wright
Im using 21 Ultimate ... Mine does not work like yours ... My clip below is not covering the entire screen ... one goes small and the other clip is not appearing ???
Maliek your videos are extremely helpful. I do have a question for you or anyone who may have experienced this. When using the PIP feature, my underlaying jpeg picture is turning upside down when viewed. Have you or anyoneelse seen this and or resolved the issue? Thanks.
Peace Maliek I have some questions if it isn't too much to ask. 1. Is there setting in Pinnacle when importing from cams, external hard drives and things of that nature where you don't have to leave the device connected, so that the program doesn't say there are clips missing. 2. do you have a tutorial on visual distortion. kind of like when antenna TV existed and the channel didn't come in clear and I'm not just talking snow. thanks for any input you may give. B-EZ 1.
Maliek, any idea why my video in editing keeps loosing the preview picture and the gaps don't close when I snip a clip. I have the Magic wand selected. Is 20 buggy?
Loosing the preview window? Snip a clip? Sorry, I'm lost. Can you post exactly what you are doing along with any screen shots to my Pinnacle Studio users community? plus.google.com/communities/103736620166447167176
I've watched a lot of your videos now, great help, thanks for that! One question that this video almost touches on... How can you get a PiP to follow? For example can you mask the basketball that the person on the left has in the footage and then "follow" it the rotating basketball, to give the illusion that the ball in the person's hand is rotating?
I finally upgraded to 20 now and again you are the man. You have been in my pocket for the last few years and I thank you for all your guidance. You explain and talk so clearly great instructor. Small question with 20. For video files that are 4K Ultra HD what is the best video export after creating a movie do you think is best for keeping the sharp video of the original but not making it super high file. Maybe give the best of best and best but a bit smaller size. Thanks again
Thank you for hanging with me for the last few years. I'm not big on creating 4K UHD videos so I can't really give you an answer. I think the best way to figure it out would be to search TH-cam for _best export settings for 4K_ and see what you come up with.
Ok Thanks. Not really wanting to create a 4K UHD its just want my Drone uses so when i put into Studio thats it I'm just tryin to find one of the best files to convert it to after i edit. Keep up the great job.
Heya! New to Pinnacle but having a lot of fun! Quick question... what kind of files work best with the Pinnacle Studio 19? I recently got myself a GoPro which tapes all files in MP4 format but when I upload these to Pinnacle it won't show any picture, just a still frame and sound.... so then I started converting all files to AVI with a free video converter but that took some of the quality... any suggestions?
Heck i am trying to c where i can find some that put logos in moving objects…. like a logo in a car or in a airplane or other moving object….all i see is unrelated… helpppp.
Thank you for all the videos you have published for Ultimate 21. They are very helpful. I would like to donate from here in the UK but am reluctant to use anything other than PayPal. Perhaps this facility will be available to me in the future.
Quick question. how would I copy and effect from one clip to another if I would like the same exact effect on another clip. was wondering if you had toot on that. thanks in advance.
Me gustaria que estos videos tan importantes para mi que acabo de adquirir el Pinnacla 20 ultimate fueran en español o si no es posible con subtitulos para poder seguirlos. Muchas gracias
just loaded Studio 19 into my new computer and I can't seem to do transitions. I go over to navigation and go to Transitions and nothing comes up what's up with that
Only issue I have with the way Pinnacle Stiudio works is that the video placed on top of the other ie, track 2, should be the one that becomes the PIP, Most editors have the top most track hide/cover the track below but in this PIP, track one is the foremost which is unusual.
hi your work is great. i m having a problem whenever i add a video clip to my timeline then the quality of video get low automaticly even if the video clip is HD.... can u please tell me the solution? ASAP
hi there can i ask you a question????i am going to anyway hehe I have just tried to instal Patch for ps20u and msg comes up saying windows installer cannot instal cos original path is not there so i cannot instal..I am in discussion with pinnacle regarding another problem why i cannot play video from timeline,plays audio fine but no picture,i have done what ps says but no joy still waiting for another idea from them grrrrrrrr.sorry if i am asking toooo much from you
Usually you get that message when you already have the latest version of Pinnacle Studio. Did you buy it recently? Is so you may not need the patch. If you didn't buy it recently then you will need to wait for a reply from customer support.
Dude i need your help! Im trying to get a baby to sing by using some other kids mouth and i can only seem to overlay the kids mouth in a cropped rectangle. is there a way i can crop the moth better?
Is it possible when I have a PIP video playing (say in the bottom left) and then to transition and have the PIP expand and become full screen - phasing out the original clip?
Maliek, I have no problem following your tutorial on PIP. When I add the PIP it will not render. Or if it is, it is very very slow. I have a super high speed pc so it shouldn't be a problem. Does it take a long time to render? I am only doing a 4 sec clip and has been not showing any progress in 15 min. Thanks! Jeff
Mine was doing the same today. I just did a bunch of clips saved and restarted. It would render the clips when it restarted. I did this a few times than it just started working like it should. Maybe try restarting your program and or computer a few times.
Rendering means the same thing in every editing program - the process of calculating effects in a video editing program to produce final video output. It depends on how you are using the term. While editing, render refers to calculating effects to view a preview of the video. When editing is complete, render refers to calculating effects to export a video file.
This is an aside. I ask you about these tutorials with no voice content only arrows moving around. Well, this is the response I received when I wrote to one of these authors: Partha Sarathi Raha 12:35 AM (14 hours ago) to me Dear Sir, I am very sorry that I have done the job very fast. If you want to learn you can communicate with me through Skype, my Skype name is "parthraha". you will get my picture there. Send me friend request I will accept that. I will assure you to give all type of assistance regarding Pinnacle updated version & using of nodes, as we are using in After Effect without any cost because its my Passion to update very body or spread the tricks. Call me in Skype. I have many friends as well as students all over the world. With Regards, Partha Sarathi.
I would like to get the Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate full version in Portuguese (Portugal) or Portuguese (Brazil). Where can I find that? What´s de price? Can I have before some time for experience? The kind of video films I do are about personal family trips and I´m not a profissional about video but I want to do always better and, because that, I don´t Know if Pinnacle 20 is or not too much for me. Can you help me answering to all my questions and doubts?
great vid Malek, how can I do a really good sinc two clips? I can get close but they are still off enough to see it easy. I edit r/C airplane vids. and when I turn one starts just a bit then the other. but it's enough to see its not in sinc. any thoughts?
So if I want to apply another picture in picture effect, I would add the same video to another timeline and add the effect on that time line and so on and so on?
Use the snapshot button to create a jpeg pic of the frame where you want the video to freeze. Split the clip at the same position, place the pic where you want the freeze, make the duration of the pic the length you need, add the rest of the video back after the pic. Watch my Time Freeze video for an example.
So here's my question. I delete a background of a pic and save it as a png but when I put the pic in the video, it still has a white or black square around it. I just want the image with no background. How can I make this happen in Pinnacle Studio?
Pinnacle Studio doesn't have settings to import the image any differently. Either the image has transparency or it doesn't. Sometimes it is the how the photo editor creates the .PNG image. Here is a post from the forum that should help you. forums.pinnaclesys.com/forums/thread/590532.aspx
Just you saying that helped a noob like me. I was deleting the background and it was leaving the rectangle. I need to make the background transparent. Problem solved. Thanks again! You rock!
hi im working on a slide show video with only pictures how can i change the size of the pictures (picture in picture) all together. Because i have to them all at once but want them all to be the same size anyways.so i was wondering if there might be an quicker way to it. Now it takes me forever to do it like this way. And i add over 100 pictures. Greetings. Ow and im use the Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate
If you are using PIP to adjust the pictures you can make the adjustment to one picture, place your cursor over the pink line until you see the FX symbol, right click with your mouse, and select to copy the effect. Then select all of the pictures in the timeline (lasso them or do CTRL + A) right click one of the clips, and select paste. If you are using corrections to change the size you can't copy and paste corrections. I make all of the adjustments to my pictures using a photo editor.
PinnacleStudioPro Yea it are corrections but I was half way kinda so I saved it like template and started over again so in that way I was faster done. But that's just the pictures only. After that I add the transitions and motion titles. Now all at the right duration and place. Just need to full in all the titles and add some music to it and then I'm done hopefully 😂 Thank you!
As of July 2017 I have just bought studio 20 ultimate 64bits version. I am having problems with exporting a film to mp4 with pip transitions. . I have 3 pip's on the same track but one refuses to render on the timeline and subsequentialy show black frames when the film is exported to a mp4 video. My computer is using windows 8.1 and Firefox 54.0.1browser. I have a i7 processor plus 8GB ram plus 65GB free on my D: drive (this is where I have the program installed and also the where my videos go to) The fragment I am using as a pip has a still has a brown rendering stroke above it, normally it would change to green and then disappear from the timeline. What is going wrong? Does Studio have to render every clip you place on the timeline. My other editing program does not have to do this (time wasting) procedure. update: After shutting down studio20 and the restarting it the pip clip was rendered on the timeline. However it still leaves black or flikkering frames when I export as mp4 or Mpeg2 with preset 1080p. One export that did work was mp4 preset full size SD 400 x 720, but this last preset is not the quality I expect.
In the control panel delete your render files, save your project as a new name, wait for all the files to render (yes you do have to wait for them to render), then try exporting again.
No. Sometimes the rendered files may become corrupt and you have to follow the steps I gave you. This shouldn't happen all the time. I never have to do it.
Thanks, I have another question. Is it possible with a click on a button or in a menu to have an overview of the film from beginning to end on the timeline, or can I only use the slider bar?
Hello. So this is the first time I have Subscribed to anything on youtube. I don't watch it much. However I think your stuff is GREAT. I do have a question. In you Video where you show us how to make a lightsaber you also have a Lightning effect in it as well. I have search and search looking for how to do this effect, but I can't find it. I am also trying to create a Teleportation effect. I am trying to create the teleporting seen in the first 3 season of Power Rangers. Can you help with these???
Thanks for watching my stuff. The lightning is just a clip of lightning with a transparent background. All I did was add it to the timeline above the other clips and position it to make it look like it came out of my hand. I got the clip as part of my subscription to Digital Juice.
You don't have the pay the full price. You can upgrade even if you have Studio15. When you upgrade, you get the full version and still have your previous version of Studio still on your computer to finish whatever projects you are working on. I have PS17U, 18U, 19U and 20U installed on my computer. You would have to upgrade through Pinnacle.
That is definitely easier than in 19, but I still cannot justify 90 bucks for the upgrade. I hope 21 adds a lot more features then I will leave 19 and go to 21. However, it was another great job by you. Love your videos.
That depends on what you need and if you consider it a time saver. If you don't need all that wonderful NewBlue FX plugins, then get the Plus version. It works the same. As for features, there are plenty added over PS19U. The new PiP and Cropping, Track Transparency, enhanced audio mixer, enhanced Multi Cam editor, NewBlue FX III, 360 editing (not for me), Motion Tracking and Mosaic Blur, and I am sure I might be missing a thing or two. So, it's not just "this" feature, but others. If you don't need these features, not a problem. I've skipped upgrades on products because there was nothing offered that I was interested in, or they removed a feature that I need for my type of work.
It seems they push the 360 degree stuff mostly. so that seems to be the BIG feature. I have heard nothing about improvements in the multicam editing. can you elaborate on that? Thanks.
360 wasn't the BIG feature for me nor as listed by Pinnacle. NewBlue III, what this tutorial is about, new way to audio key frame (until you've tried it, you won't realize how great it is), the enhanced Multicam Editor and Motion Tracking are all BIGGER than 360. If that is what you are focusing on at the expense of all the other improvements, you are doing yourself a disservice. But that doesn't mean that all the above mentioned improvements are even what you are looking for. But it was what I was looking for. And 360 was not on the list and won't be in the near or foreseeable future.
I was asking about the upgrade to multicam. i do not recall seeing anything about it. can you elaborate what the upgrade to that feature is? 360 is not in my present nor future so I think we are on the same page on that feature.
Since you always move on to the latest version of the software, you kinda leave behind viewers who work with the older version. It would be nice if you could mention (and show) what features may also be possible on the older versions and how.
Since I do not use the older versions it would be difficult for me to determine what would or would not work. It is easier for those viewers who have the older version to see if the feature is available.
Your videos are always worth the time investment of watching. When explaining things like this new PIP feature you don’t just show the clip placement, sizing and cropping features and send us on our way to play. You go the extra mile and cover the benefits of integrating features like Croma Key and Transparency to make PIP even more powerful. Thank you for the extra lengths you go to.
Thanks for the kind words +Mike Holt. :-)

12/20/21 I just got version 25 due to the alpha channel. I watched this one to remember the old days when you made some great Pinnacle videos.
thank you for a great straight forward tutorial. I loved it, and I got it first time ..... not bad for an oldie but a goodie! G'day from Australia
Not bad at all. :-) Thanks for watching.
Your videos and instructions are superb. Thanks for moving me off the nubie square.
Thanks. Happy to help.
Hello, how can I create PiP with an oval shape instead of a rectangle, thanks.
I love you videos! And I have a question. In the new pinnacle 22 ultimate can you do a PIP in a green screen clip and if so do you place the image for the PIP above the green screen clip or above the other background images serving as the backdrop to the green screen clip?
OMG! That was soooo easy! I don't know why I haven't done that before!
Hi,sorry, I woulkd like to know how to copy the same PIP between clips, and how to copy the same effects I ve attached on a single clip on the rest of the clips on the time line, Thanks😊

Great tutorial that even combines a little chroma keying! Also, you can PiP text too if you like! I always look forward to your tutorials. You can teach and old dog some new tricks!
I'm always learning too my brother...
another great video. Is it possible to do a video that speeds it up. I do machining and metal or wood working videos and would like to speed through the repetitive parts.
Thanks. Watch my slow motion video. You can use it to speed things up as well.
Hello Maliek, Do you some video about adding picture in the video. I"d like to have same picture during my clip. Can ypou help with it?
Hi Maliek! Quick question...Can you have more than one picture in a picture?
Love your videotutorrals here in Scandinavia, thanks
You are awesome man! I hope you staying safe (:
Hello sir, I saw this video with 2 boys and into ball. When the movie is play then te ball is rotating (good word?) but still on the same place. But I like it that the ball is moving with the movie together. Is that possible and what is the name of this? I hope you can understand my english. Greetz Ciska
You'r the king... :) Are you a teacher as profession? You are an excellent instructor. thanks
Thank you. I'm not a teacher but my wife is. :-)
Great tutorial Very helpful. thank you !

Thanks in Advance for your Help..........
Yes, watch my copy and paste tutorial and it shows you how to copy effects to other clips.
sorry...... i can't find it for Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate.
can you post me link in reply..
It is not on PS 20, it is on a previous version. Don't remember which one. You can search it and watch it and it works the same in PS 20.
It is not on PS 20, it is on a previous version. Don't remember which one. You can search it and watch it and it works the same in PS 20.
And question… how fast is this in comparison with the rendering time in ae?
When you clicked on scale mode from within the effects editor I noticed that the bounding box appeared again. Does this mean that you can use the mouse to resize and move it and not have to use the sliders? thanks. Randy Wright
Yes, you sure can. :-)
Great! This is what I've been hoping for! [:^)
Im using 21 Ultimate ... Mine does not work like yours ... My clip below is not covering the entire screen ... one goes small and the other clip is not appearing ???

1. You can import without using watch folders and/or disable watch folders
2. I do not have a tutorial on visual distortion. :-(
Yes! Finally a good video editor!!!
Maliek, any idea why my video in editing keeps loosing the preview picture and the gaps don't close when I snip a clip. I have the Magic wand selected. Is 20 buggy?
Loosing the preview window? Snip a clip? Sorry, I'm lost. Can you post exactly what you are doing along with any screen shots to my Pinnacle Studio users community? plus.google.com/communities/103736620166447167176
Hello Maliek
How do you leave PIP mode? you dont show how to enter back to normal editing mode..
Sorry to disturb you, but when I try and do PIP, all I get is a black screen behind the picture. What I am doing wrong?
Great video thanks a million man.
I've watched a lot of your videos now, great help, thanks for that! One question that this video almost touches on... How can you get a PiP to follow? For example can you mask the basketball that the person on the left has in the footage and then "follow" it the rotating basketball, to give the illusion that the ball in the person's hand is rotating?
You can make your PIP move anywhere on the screen using keyframes.
Thanks a lot it was very helpful I just got pinnacle studio 20 ultimate and i subbed so I can get help from you:) keep making the vids😃
So how do you sync the pip to the full screen video?
I finally upgraded to 20 now and again you are the man. You have been in my pocket for the last few years and I thank you for all your guidance. You explain and talk so clearly great instructor.

Hi Im trying to make a picture in picture move across the screen but I cant find a way to do it someone help
Quick question. how would I copy and effect from one clip to another if I would like the same exact effect on another clip. was wondering if you had toot on that. thanks in advance.
Watch my copy and paste tutorial. It shows how to do it.
PinnacleStudioPro thanks once again Mr. W
Me gustaria que estos videos tan importantes para mi que acabo de adquirir el Pinnacla 20 ultimate fueran en español o si no es posible con subtitulos para poder seguirlos. Muchas gracias
The videos already have captions. All you have to do is use the TH-cam player to translate it to spanish.
so is pip only for visual clips ( no sound)?
How to blur faces or something in PS 20?
just saw this can I ask a question
just loaded Studio 19 into my new computer and I can't seem to do transitions. I go over to navigation and go to Transitions and nothing comes up what's up with that
very well explained!!!!!!
Hi,is there any way for example you could make the ball look like it's bouncing up and down in the final video?thank you for the information.
If you use a .png image of a ball you can make it move up and down using keyframes.
Hi,thank you very much.I learned a lot from your videos I have pinnacle 17.
And I didn't know this thank you very much!
Very helpful. thank you !
Thanks a lot Maliek. You're good.
On a scale of 1-10, would you consider this software as extremely easy to use (1) or extremely difficult to learn (10)?
1 but that doesn't mean that you will find it easy to use.
PinnacleStudioPro Understood. Thanks.
Only issue I have with the way Pinnacle Stiudio works is that the video placed on top of the other ie, track 2, should be the one that becomes the PIP, Most editors have the top most track hide/cover the track below but in this PIP, track one is the foremost which is unusual.
hi your work is great.
i m having a problem whenever i add a video clip to my timeline then the quality of video get low automaticly even if the video clip is HD.... can u please tell me the solution? ASAP
Thanks. Watch my preview quality video for tips on how to fix it.
no progress yet after doin all the things as u told.. :-(
even if i import the video clip in library then video loses its quality
If you watched my preview quality video and the preview quality is still low then you need to contact Pinnacle Support for help.

Dude i need your help! Im trying to get a baby to sing by using some other kids mouth and i can only seem to overlay the kids mouth in a cropped rectangle. is there a way i can crop the moth better?
You can try using garbage matte to do it.
Is it possible when I have a PIP video playing (say in the bottom left) and then to transition and have the PIP expand and become full screen - phasing out the original clip?
Yes.
Thats great! Any chance you want to do a short tutorial on that topic :)
Most likely not. I might include it the next time I create a PIP tutorial.
really helpful!!! thanks, definitely subscribing!!!
Thanks Markus Ward!
Maliek,
I have no problem following your tutorial on PIP. When I add the PIP it will not render. Or if it is, it is very very slow. I have a super high speed pc so it shouldn't be a problem. Does it take a long time to render? I am only doing a 4 sec clip and has been not showing any progress in 15 min.
Thanks!
Jeff
No it should not take a long time to render.
Mine was doing the same today. I just did a bunch of clips saved and restarted. It would render the clips when it restarted. I did this a few times than it just started working like it should. Maybe try restarting your program and or computer a few times.
In Pinnacle Studio, what does "render" mean? I am finding out that "render" can mean something different in other programs.
Rendering means the same thing in every editing program - the process of calculating effects in a video editing program to produce final video output.
It depends on how you are using the term. While editing, render refers to calculating effects to view a preview of the video. When editing is complete, render refers to calculating effects to export a video file.
This is an aside. I ask you about these tutorials with no voice content only arrows moving around. Well, this is

I would like to get the Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate full version in Portuguese (Portugal) or Portuguese (Brazil). Where can I find that? What´s de price? Can I have before some time for experience? The kind of video films I do are about personal family trips and I´m not a profissional about video but I want to do always better and, because that, I don´t Know if Pinnacle 20 is or not too much for me. Can you help me answering to all my questions and doubts?
And I forget to say my computer is Intel(R) Core (TM)i7 - 6700 HQ CPU@260 GHz 2.59 GHz, 16,0 GB RAM, 64 bits.
... with Windows 10.
Nobody answers me!!!!!
great vid Malek, how can I do a really good sinc two clips? I can get close but they are still off enough to see it easy. I edit r/C airplane vids. and when I turn one starts just a bit then the other. but it's enough to see its not in sinc. any thoughts?
Stretch your timeline all the way out and make your edits. You can trim or move clips frame by frame to get them in sync.
Great video! Very helpful!
Thanks!
Hi Maliek,
How many PIP effects can you have on your timeline?
You can have as many PIP effects as you can have timelines.
So if I want to apply another picture in picture effect, I would add the same video to another timeline and add the effect on that time line and so on and so on?
Yes, or you can copy the effect from one clip and paste it to the other clip. Watch my copy and paste tutorial for that.
Is there a way to pause the top video while the while the background video is still playing. Can't seem to freeze frame the top video? Any tips.
Use the snapshot button to create a jpeg pic of the frame where you want the video to freeze. Split the clip at the same position, place the pic where you want the freeze, make the duration of the pic the length you need, add the rest of the video back after the pic. Watch my Time Freeze video for an example.
So here's my question. I delete a background of a pic and save it as a png but when I put the pic in the video, it still has a white or black square around it. I just want the image with no background. How can I make this happen in Pinnacle Studio?
Pinnacle Studio doesn't have settings to import the image any differently. Either the image has transparency or it doesn't. Sometimes it is the how the photo editor creates the .PNG image. Here is a post from the forum that should help you. forums.pinnaclesys.com/forums/thread/590532.aspx
Just you saying that helped a noob like me. I was deleting the background and it was leaving the rectangle. I need to make the background transparent. Problem solved. Thanks again! You rock!
Glad I was able to help.
hi im working on a slide show video with only pictures how can i change the size of the pictures (picture in picture) all together. Because i have to them all at once but want them all to be the same size anyways.so i was wondering if there might be an quicker way to it. Now it takes me forever to do it like this way. And i add over 100 pictures. Greetings. Ow and im use the Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate
If you are using PIP to adjust the pictures you can make the adjustment to one picture, place your cursor over the pink line until you see the FX symbol, right click with your mouse, and select to copy the effect. Then select all of the pictures in the timeline (lasso them or do CTRL + A) right click one of the clips, and select paste. If you are using corrections to change the size you can't copy and paste corrections.
I make all of the adjustments to my pictures using a photo editor.
PinnacleStudioPro
Yea it are corrections but I was half way kinda so I saved it like template and started over again so in that way I was faster done.
But that's just the pictures only.
After that I add the transitions and motion titles. Now all at the right duration and place. Just need to full in all the titles and add some music to it and then I'm done hopefully 😂
Thank you!
What package do you use to create your screen capture and audio clips?
I use Camtasia screen recorder for screen captures and I use Adobe Audition for my audio.
Any luck using the screen capture that comes with pinicle?
I've never used it.
its OK, I worked it out. Many thanks
how to make a shooting stars meme with pinnacle studio 20??
As of July 2017 I have just bought studio 20 ultimate 64bits version. I am having problems with exporting a film to mp4 with pip transitions. . I have 3 pip's on the same track but one refuses to render on the timeline and subsequentialy show black frames when the film is exported to a mp4 video. My computer is using windows 8.1 and Firefox 54.0.1browser. I have a i7 processor plus 8GB ram plus 65GB free on my D: drive (this is where I have the program installed and also the where my videos go to)
The fragment I am using as a pip has a still has a brown rendering stroke above it, normally it would change to green and then disappear from the timeline.
What is going wrong? Does Studio have to render every clip you place on the timeline. My other editing program does not have to do this (time wasting) procedure.
update: After shutting down studio20 and the restarting it the pip clip was rendered on the timeline. However it still leaves black or flikkering frames when I export as mp4 or Mpeg2 with preset 1080p. One export that did work was mp4 preset full size SD 400 x 720, but this last preset is not the quality I expect.
In the control panel delete your render files, save your project as a new name, wait for all the files to render (yes you do have to wait for them to render), then try exporting again.
Thanks,this seems to have worked. Do I need to delete the render files with each NEW project/exported film?
No. Sometimes the rendered files may become corrupt and you have to follow the steps I gave you. This shouldn't happen all the time. I never have to do it.
Thanks, I have another question. Is it possible with a click on a button or in a menu to have an overview of the film from beginning to end on the timeline, or can I only use the slider bar?
Malik....we need you back
Am I able to have 1 picture then have 2 videos playing on top of it using pip
Yes
Hello. So this is the first time I have Subscribed to anything on youtube. I don't watch it much. However I think your stuff is GREAT. I do have a question. In you Video where you show us how to make a lightsaber you also have a Lightning effect in it as well. I have search and search looking for how to do this effect, but I can't find it. I am also trying to create a Teleportation effect. I am trying to create the teleporting seen in the first 3 season of Power Rangers. Can you help with these???
Thanks for watching my stuff.
The lightning is just a clip of lightning with a transparent background. All I did was add it to the timeline above the other clips and position it to make it look like it came out of my hand. I got the clip as part of my subscription to Digital Juice.
Do you have any vidoes on how to make that lightning?
No, sorry I don't.
Kindly make a tutorial on pinnacle studio 20 luma key
can i put picture over video ?
Yes. Use Studio PIP
This also works on P. Studio 22 Ultimate. 7/05/2019
Hello, Joop here from the Netherlands, thanks man for this video, i am a starter with Pinn 22, so i need to learn a lot, youi help me with it.
thanks making life so easy
I wish we could upgrade our pinnicle studio without having to pay full price again
Patty ice i agree i have pinnacle 19 and now i have to buy 20 but well its a bisness we have to pay for what we want...haha
Mati12ful I just use it to edit my youtube videos, so I don't really need a new version, but it still annoys me.
You don't have the pay the full price. You can upgrade even if you have Studio15. When you upgrade, you get the full version and still have your previous version of Studio still on your computer to finish whatever projects you are working on. I have PS17U, 18U, 19U and 20U installed on my computer.
You would have to upgrade through Pinnacle.
Ditto
That is definitely easier than in 19, but I still cannot justify 90 bucks for the upgrade. I hope 21 adds a lot more features then I will leave 19 and go to 21. However, it was another great job by you. Love your videos.
Thanks.
That depends on what you need and if you consider it a time saver. If you don't need all that wonderful NewBlue FX plugins, then get the Plus version. It works the same. As for features, there are plenty added over PS19U.
The new PiP and Cropping, Track Transparency, enhanced audio mixer, enhanced Multi Cam editor, NewBlue FX III, 360 editing (not for me), Motion Tracking and Mosaic Blur, and I am sure I might be missing a thing or two. So, it's not just "this" feature, but others.
If you don't need these features, not a problem. I've skipped upgrades on products because there was nothing offered that I was interested in, or they removed a feature that I need for my type of work.
It seems they push the 360 degree stuff mostly. so that seems to be the BIG feature. I have heard nothing about improvements in the multicam editing. can you elaborate on that? Thanks.
360 wasn't the BIG feature for me nor as listed by Pinnacle. NewBlue III, what this tutorial is about, new way to audio key frame (until you've tried it, you won't realize how great it is), the enhanced Multicam Editor and Motion Tracking are all BIGGER than 360. If that is what you are focusing on at the expense of all the other improvements, you are doing yourself a disservice. But that doesn't mean that all the above mentioned improvements are even what you are looking for. But it was what I was looking for. And 360 was not on the list and won't be in the near or foreseeable future.
I was asking about the upgrade to multicam. i do not recall seeing anything about it. can you elaborate what the upgrade to that feature is? 360 is not in my present nor future so I think we are on the same page on that feature.
Yo can u do double exposure on pinicle 18 tatty bye bro
Excelentes dicas.
i was wonder is this how you tuber do movie review and reactions??/ or do the do back and edit it and than add the movie trailer
Since you always move on to the latest version of the software, you kinda leave behind viewers who work with the older version. It would be nice if you could mention (and show) what features may also be possible on the older versions and how.
Since I do not use the older versions it would be difficult for me to determine what would or would not work. It is easier for those viewers who have the older version to see if the feature is available.
STOP ZOOM IN AND OUT ALL THE TIME TO SHOW WHAT YOU DO. WE ARE NOT BLIND, CAN FOLLOW YOUR MICE POINTER
Pinnacle Studio is utter garbage.
thanx, wonderful video!
You're welcome.
