Note: You can also use a moving background, but you should make sure that it does not have a confusing effect in combination with moving film reference images. Confusing effects can sometimes be avoided by making the animated background menu darker or fuzzier.

Now create a scene of 20 seconds duration containing video material corresponding in content to the video material of the first project you inserted with the program DVD-Arabesk 2”. Insert this video scene into the storyboard behind the fixed image.

Go to the transition effects menu and select PIP- Studio. Insert it between the scenes previously positioned and set the effect duration also to 20 seconds. Start the program.

You now see your background image and in front of it your video scene as PIP.

In order to complete the example, make the following settings for the displayed scene in the

foreground:

Under “PIP” select “Single” and under “Effect” set “Hard Cut” for “IN” and “OUT”.

Now select as “Shape” a “Rectangle” and set the “Size” 120 x 96 (for NTSC 120 x 80) in order to obtain an average-sized picture.

Note: In order to obtain a small reference picture, select 80 x 64 (NTSC = 80 x 50), for a large picture use 160 x 128 (NTSC = 160 x 100).

Now go to the menu “Border” and set both “Size” and “Blur” to 0. Also, the value of “Distance” in the menu “Shadow” should be set to 0.

After you have made these settings you can position the PIP. Click on “Position” and move the picture, for example, to the upper right corner to the position 512, 220.

Calculate the PIP-Studio effect and then create a scene from it that you put in the storyboard.

Insert into the storyboard an additional video scene with a length of 20 seconds that corresponds in content to the second project you inserted with the program DVD-Arabesk 2”.

Create again a PIP with the same settings (only the position must be different, of course), calculate it and create a new scene from it.

When you are finished with the above, you will have created with PIP-Studio the same number
