I have 4 consecutive (short) video clips. I want to play each of the 4 (in sequence) to completion and upon completion of each clip, freeze the last frame and place it in each of the 4 corners of the screen with each last frame comprising ¼ of the screen. Once the entire screen (i.e., all 4 corners ) is filled, I want to transition-in a separate 5th image (1/4 screen size) to be centered in the middle of the screen.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks,
Bill

Yes, you can do this.
First step, go to your timeline tool menu and click on the Icon called Overlay Track Manager (you'll see this when you hover the mouse pointer over the icon). In the pop-up window, place a check mark in Overlay Tracks #2 - #5, as you will need these. Change your timeline to the Timeline View. You now have a video track and 5 overlay tracks.
Next, click on the first video clip to highlight it and you will see it displayed in the preview screen. Click the End button in the navigation control panel under the preview screen to advance the video clip to the last frame. Click on Save as Still Image in the Video tab of the control panel, as this will place an image clip of the last frame in the Library.
Next, since you want to place these images at the end of your video clip, you will need to provide a background image between video clip #1 and video clip #2. You could use the same image clip of the last frame in its full size or you could use a color clip. Place this new "clip" on the video track between video clip #1 and #2, and adjust its duration to fit the entire time that all five 1/4 size image clips will remain on the screen.
Click and drag the image file to Overlay Track #1. Position it in the timeline under the full size image/color clip to the location of your choosing. Now click on the image clip on the overlay track to highlight it in the preview screen. You should now see a 1/4 size image of the last frame in the center of the preview screen with your image/color clip in the background. Right click anywhere inside the 1/4 size image on the preview screen and select Anchor At Top|Left. In the Attribute tab of the control panel, place a check in the box for Show Grid Lines. Using your keyboard arrow keys, align the 1/4 size image with the grid lines so that the image fills the top left quadrant of the screen, aligning it with the vertical and horizontal center grid lines.
Repeat these steps for the other 3 same image clips, placing the second image clip on Overlay Track #2, image clip #3 on Overlay Track #3, and image #4 on Overlay Track #4. Anchor each of these three clips in the other three quadrants of the screen and use the keyboard arrows to fine tune their exact placement and alignment to the other image clips in the screen. Make sure all four image clips meet at the center grid lines in the preview screen. Align them within the overlay tracks on the timeline where you want them in relation to the other image clips and the background clip. On the Attribute tab of the control panel, you can select the direction from which the image clip enters the screen and leaves the screen by clicking on any of the nine Direction/Style buttons. You can also select the Fade in/Fade out buttons if you want to fade the image in as it enters the screen. Under the preview screen, you see a blue horizontal bar with a left and right black triangular shaped handle. You can slide these Trim Handles to adjust how fast or how slow the image enters the screen, and the length of the blue bar indicates the pause duration of the image clip in its resting position. Now add your 5th image clip to Overlay Track #5, click on it to highlight it in the preview sceen, and VS10 will by default center it in the middle of the screen, right where you said you wanted image #5 to be placed.
Repeat this process for the other 3 video clips.
