Steps to Use PIP (Picture in Picture)

Filmora provides several tools to customize overlay videos, adjust visuals, and apply advanced effects. Read the steps provided below to learn how to create the picture-in-picture effect:

Step 1. Create a New Project in Filmora

Open Wondershare Filmora on your Mac and click New Project from the startup screen.

Step 2. Add Overlay Video to Background

Import two video clips and place them on different tracks in the timeline. Select the overlay clip and adjust its size and position in the preview window to properly layer it over the background video.

Step 3. Apply Transform Controls

Head to the properties panel on the right and use the Transform settings to rotate, flip, resize, or reposition the overlay video. These adjustments help align the PIP element perfectly within the main frame.

Step 4. Use Compositing Settings

Open the Compositing panel to blend the overlay with the background video. Adjust opacity levels to control how strongly or softly both layers mix together.

Step 5. Add Drop Shadow Effect

Enable the Shadow option to create depth between layers. Customize shadow distance, blur, direction, color, and transparency for a more realistic layered appearance.

Step 6. Apply Green Screen Effect

Use the chroma key tool to remove green backgrounds from overlay footage. Adjust tolerance, edge thickness, and color settings for a clean and accurate cutout.
