PNG JPG Question

Picture in Picture
If you are still having problems showing black borders then you can use the Chroma Key option to remove them. I mentioned using Chrome Key earlier, I believe Cobra76 also had a video on YouTube showing how, but seems to have been removed? I’m sure it will be replaced.
However there are a few options when using Chroma?

Ok
Add an image to the overlay track and select
Choose Attributes tab
Choose Mask & Chroma Key
Tick Apply Overlay Options
Type as Mask—Mask panel opens
Choose the full mask, I see it 10 down left hand panel (full white panel)

Apply P-in P

For Pan & Zoom seems to react a little differently and I had to use the Chroma Key—Similarity as Black
Unfortunately this also removes black from the image?

Have you tried applying the Video Pan & Zoom filter or the Crop Borders~ may give better results than using Pan & Zoom—Copy and Paste attributes seems to keep the aspect ratio.

Just looked at the Video Pan & Zoom from the FX filter section, gets my vote

budbon, are you trying to make a picture do an animated resizing of itself from small to full size (or vice versa)? I don't think VS is intended to do this; however, there is a transition stretch filter called "Box" that you can set to run in two directions (in and out) and you can stretch it out on the timeline to make it do a slow zoom away (or zoom in) resizing of the photo. Just add a background color clip that matches your background to meet the beginning of the picture clip on the overlay track, fit to screen, stretch it out to add a few seconds, drag the transition in between and stretch out the transition over most of the length of the background clip to adjust the speed of the effect (slow it down). To go from large photo to small, put the background color last and reverse the transition's direction. There is no panning, but maybe in combination with or with a different filter? This works over a solid color background, video background would be more tricky.

That strech filter did the trick. I didn't know about the strech filter.
