Pinnacle Studio 12 – Picture in Picture Tutorial

February 82010

In this video tutorial I will show you how easy it is to make a Picture in Picture effect in Pinnacle studio 12.
The version I am using is the Studio 12 plus trial. As a bonus you don’t have to save it in .SWF format either you can choose other video formats if you so desire.

If used correctly this can greatly enhance your videos to give a more professional feel to it.

Please take note that I only got this trial yesterday and have’t learnt about it all just yet.

No this video was not made with Pinnacle, it was made with Camtasia studio 6, I might try and render my Camstudio recordings with Pinnacle too soon, I’ll have to see how it turns out though.
