Adding more than 6 overlay tracks...

Post by George L. »

Hello everyone,

I would like to end my video with a 4x3 grid of 12 tiny videos within the screen. I think Corel Video Studio X2 only allows me to add 6 overlay tracks through the track manager...

Is it possible to make more then 6 overlay tracks?

The only way I could think of is to make six overlays, expert the video file and then overlay another 6, but that is extremely difficult...

Does any know how to add more than 6 overlay tracks? Thanks so much in advance :)

-Jeff

Do as you suggested but instead of rendering a new video save it as a project file. Then add the project file as though it was a video.

The only other way I can think of, absent of using a third party Video-Filter/plug-in, would be to just save your project with the 6 overlay tracks. Start a new project, and insert the project file (VSP) you just saved as a video, on the Main video track.

Or basically have project-1 with just those small videos, using the 6 overlay tracks. Start a new project and insert project-1 in the main video track, and you still have 6 tracks to work with. No intermediate rendering...
