2. The PIP-Studio 3D program
The PIP-Studio 3D program is based on the
popular Picture-in-Picture (PIP) function of the
Smart Edit software.
It is the consequent 3D Effect addition to the PIP-
Studio program.
With the predecessor, you could place a moving
scene onto any other one - in different forms
and with freely defined outlines. Many other
creative options such as the outline colour,
transparency and shadow cast have produced
appealing and professional results.
This concept has also been retained with
the PiP-Studio 3D, although the scenes and
outlines are displayed and animated in a three
dimensional form in space, which provides a lot
of scope for creativity.
This means that many objects/scenes can be
animated in different designs on their own
motion paths. You can use the Image Pool to
create outlines and of course 2D and 3D PIPs can
be combined together.
