DaVinci Resolve: Resize and reposition video overlays

Demo summary

The instructor uses the Inspector's Transform tools to zoom out and change the X/Y position of a B-roll clip to create a picture-in-picture effect.

Step-by-step

  1. Select the clip in the timeline
  2. Open the Inspector panel
  3. Click and drag to the left on the Zoom value to scale the video down
  4. Adjust the X and Y Position values to move the clip to the desired area

Options

  • Layer multiple clips on top of each other to show two things on screen simultaneously

Tips

  • Add all graphics, B-roll, and overlay elements to the project before finalizing positioning

Highlights

we can easily do that stuff in here because they are layered on top of each other
