How would you do Picture in Picture pew d pie effect

I have no clue what the "pew d pie effect" is. A link to an example would help. But that said, here's what I think may help you somewhat.

You could shop around for a pic-in-pic effect that works the way you want it to. Look at the Templates section here, scour through there, you may find a free one.

Super easy to do with keyframes. Place the playhead where you want the animation to start. Keyframe Position parameters (X & Y) and scale. Place the playhead where you want the clip to return to full size, create keyframes there. Then, keyframe the movement in between.

I trick I was taught by a Holywood leading effects professional many years ago, when doing these things, it is often easier and faster to keyframe the end of the animation first. In this case (and I do these a lot) I find keyframing the start and end fast and easy. As you're not really changing anything, just marking where the clip needs to start and end as-is. Then keyframe movement/animation in between.

Also, learn the OSC (on-screen controls) for keyframing scale and position parameters, it's really easy and fast.

If you just want to do a picture in picture the video might be worth watching.

Ok - on it .. I checked again and Pew dee pie starts a new clip at the same time he dissapears to the corner of the screen... so i will try that.

Oh and Guru - for a world class killer editor you sure need some help I will give you culture lessons you can be my Guru.

Pew is he worlds most famous youtuber with 109 million subscribers.

Yes, YouTube fame is so vital to making a person better than the rest of us...

I'm sure I could make a dozen cultural references you'd not understand, also. The world has more than one culture.

Ha I very know that. I was fully joking. You are MY hero.

You tube stars are broke.

Pewdiepie is many things, but broke ain't one of them!

I've seen a few of his vids and they're just not for me. They're skewed towards a teenage audience.

You'd be surprised how little YTbers make. He might be an exception.. from the old school. And yes the edit is a bit odd.

Anyhoo - My next PiP effect relates to enclose clip - the clip is a product launch. I want to place images of the prototype product on top of this background.

Almost as though the product is on stage, but not - because without CGI that would be hard.

I read the slide show post here from 2015 and the only template / plug in I liked is a one that is no longer available.

Naturally it looks like I am going to have to buy something SHEESH... unless you can think of a work round????

I am trying to avoid tacky looking keyframe picture in frame manual ideas - as it will look a bit school boy.

How might you do it?

If you just want the product and not a PIP with borders you will need to get a green screen and place the product in front of it. Then you can chroma-key out the green background with any NLE.

High-resolution image of the product with alpha channel.
Scale and position, add shadows, and color grade and grain to match the background image.

Personally, I'd use mO2 (MotionVFX), actual 3D virtual background, and a 3D model or high-resolution image of the product. But then, I'm using mO2 almost daily now.

I don't think Cameron has a 3-D model of the product. I also don't think he knows how to create them.

I never suggested he had one. I just offered a possible option. And getting a 3D model of a product is pretty easy these days with the low-cost resources online now.

I did give a solution that did not require that, first. Stop being a jerk, arc, whoever you really are.

Perhaps you should take your own advise. I left a very simple response that did not require you to go into full blown A-hole mode.

If someone is having problems doing a PIP they probably don't have a clue about 3-D animation. If the product is an original product it might be very complex. No one is going to create the model for free. We could suggest Cameron allow a visual effects artist to do everything but I am under the impression Cameron has a limited budget.

arc, you've been threatened with being blocked yourself, please stop and stick to being helpful with Apple pro apps.

I do help people Mr. Guru and you know it. Xavier consistently makes harassing statements towards me. You even mentioned it. That being said I have done nothing to cause me to get banned. I will state FCP/Apple forums are always a bit different from any other forum. That being said I would never have been blocked form the Edius forum, the Matrox forum, the Pinnacle forums or any other forums for anything I have posted thus far. I can say Xavier would have been blocked by now in any other forum besides this forum. Do you see my point?

I fixed the PinP now thanks annoyed that coverflux is not available....

NOW I just realised my tile in the background is falling down.. is a fix possible or will it look like a fix in the backgronud.... can you see the wall showing through?

Also fixed the gap with a mask... only took 5 hours.
I had tons of crops done before I noticed the error... had to go back over them all. If someone watches it on a big tv they will see it but - what can you do eh... in future it would be good if there was a like smudge tool like in PS so you could draw stuff out.
I tried the colour mask - but it was very fiddly and didnt work for me
Anyhoo, I think you are all wonderful and helpful especially you GURU who selflessly offers wonderous help to people like me. A gent.

If you want to draw stuff out, as you say, look into PaintX from CoreMelt. One of my all-time favorite plugins that I use very often. I use it mostly as digital make-up on people's faces, but it can be used for many, many, many different things.

I'd have used the curves to select that color specifically and change it to another color.  Fast, easy, flawless if done well.
