From the Browser, open the first clip you want to arrange in the background of your
composition, then edit it into the sequence using a superimpose edit.

4

Double-click the sequence clip you’ve just edited into the Timeline (not the
background clip) to open it in the Viewer, then click the Motion tab.

First, you’ll change the size of the clip so it’s smaller, and then you’ll change the rotation
so the clip is angled.

5

Click the Basic Motion disclosure triangle to reveal the Basic Motion parameters, then
drag the Scale slider to 38 (or enter “38” in the Scale number field, then press Return).

A new track is created
above the current V1
video track, and your clip
is inserted into it.

Dots in the scrubber bar

indicate the clip is in a

sequence.

As you drag the

Scale slider to the left,

the clip gets smaller

in the Canvas.
