rather than the lower-left corner.
5
Select the video clip in the Video 6 track, and expand its Motion settings in the 
Effect Controls panel.
6
Change the Position parameters to 640, 360. This centers the clip.
7
Play the clip to see the five PIPs you have added on top of a video background. 
If you have trouble with any of the steps, open the 5 PIP sequence to see how it 
should look.
Enhancing motion with shadows 
and beveled edges
PIPs are more interesting when their shrunken clips have drop shadows, beveled 
edges, or some other kind of border. In this exercise, you’ll add these enhancements 
to a clip.
1
Open the 5 PIP sequence.
It has six layered clips (you might need to use the Timeline scroll bar to see all of 
them). The top five all have 25 percent motion presets applied. The clip on the 
bottom of the sequence in the Video 1 track will serve as the PIP background.

Putting Clips in Motion
2
Drag the current-time indicator past the one-second point to display the five PIPs.

Choose Presets > Bevel Edges, and drag the Bevel Edges Thin effect to the clip 
on the Video 3 track in the sequence.

Zoom the Program Monitor view to 100 percent to get a better look at this effect.
The effect shows up in the center of the Program Monitor. After you adjust 
the Bevel Edges parameters, it will look as shown here. You may have to scroll 
around in the Program Monitor to see the PIP.
