To do picture in picture on Windows 10, specifically when creating a video with an overlay, you typically use video editing software. This process allows you to place one video in a smaller window on top of another main video.
Achieving a picture-in-picture (PiP) effect within a video file on Windows 10 requires using a video editing program that supports layering or overlaying video tracks. While the specific steps can vary slightly between different software applications, the general principle involves placing the video you want in the small window on a track above the main video and then adjusting its size and position.
Based on common video editing workflows, here's how you can often create this effect, incorporating the steps provided:
Steps to Create a PiP Overlay
- Add Videos to Timeline: Start by importing your videos into the editing software and placing your main video on the lower timeline track and the video you want to use for the picture-in-picture effect on a track above it.
- Select the Overlay Video: Click on the top video on the timeline. This is the video clip that will appear in the smaller PiP window.
- Access Editing Options: Look for a toolbar or options related to the selected clip. Next, click on the three dots in the floating toolbar that appears near the clip. These three dots often indicate a menu with 'more editing options'.
- Find the PiP Feature: Within the menu that opens, look for a specific function related to picture-in-picture or video overlay. Click on the picture-in-picture button.
- Position the Overlay: Once the PiP feature is activated, you will typically be able to choose the position of your overlay video. Software usually offers preset positions (like corners: top-right, bottom-left, etc.) or allows you to manually drag, resize, and place the smaller video window anywhere on the screen.
This method focuses on combining video files to create a single output video with a PiP effect, which is a standard feature in many video editing tools available for Windows 10. The exact interface and location of buttons might differ depending on the software you are using.
