Creating a picture-in-picture overlay
Place one clip above another in the Timeline
You can place one clip above another without replacing a section of the lower clip as is done with an overlay. You can
use clips stacked in this way, for example, with various keying effects.
1 In the Timeline, drag the current-time indicator
to a location above a video clip where you want to overlay
another clip.
2 Shift-drag a clip from the Organize workspace and drop it onto the Monitor panel.
3 Choose Place On Top.
Adobe Premiere Elements drops the second clip into the first available video track at the location of the current-time
indicator.
