Resizing Images

Does anyone know how to resize I picture I am using in my video? I want it to be small in the center but it takes up most of the screen. Thanks!!

Because you haven't said I shall have to assume version 8 - this method does not work for previous versions.

The image you wish to resize must be in the overlay track (second one down in the timeline) - click on the image to highlight it and on the left side of the preview screen up towards the top click on the "Motion and Filter" Tab - you should now see your image in the preview screen surrounded by a dotted line and yellow boxes. Move your cursor to any corner yellow box - left click and drag the corner to the size you want - while still in that mode hover your cursor over the image - it will change to a four pointed arrow - left click and drag the whole image to the position you want it onscreen.

To see the result you MUST play your video in PROJECT mode (using CLIP will not show image size change)

I had originally submitted an answer at virtually the same time as Brian's, but his covers everything I had to say, so I have edited my answer out!!
