Video overlays

Wreckonize

I am placing a few videos over lays and I can't seem to find how you play them all at a time? I can only play one at a time! Please help!

Overlays (higher tracks) take precedence over lower tracks. During sequence preview, they should play as encountered on the overlay track/s.

Please be more specific. Or, better still, upload and share your project. It's easy, takes little time and can be private. Just follow these steps...

1. With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left. Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER. Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER.
2. Locate the saved, numbered folder and upload it to a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* (Don't upload the export file or only the VPJ.)
3. Get a shared, public link. If using Google Drive click GET SHAREABLE LINK. Click the blue "Change to anyone with the link..." Then click COPY LINK | DONE.
4. Paste that link here, or click the folder, above top-right in this forum, and message it to me. This is private and won't be shared.
* Before uploading, right-click the folder, click PROPERTIES. Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server.

A look at your project would be helpful.

In general however, as mentioned, videos on higher tracks will cover up videos that are placed on lower tracks. They all play simultaneously but the videos underneath can't be seen.

However, if you make the upper clips smaller by Scaling them, then the lower videos will become visible. If some still overlap then you might add a Position effect to move them apart. This is often done to get a PIP (picture in picture) effect.

Another way to make the tracks all visible is to use a split screen effect on each track and allocate each to a different screen area. In this way you could easily show up to a maximum of 25 tracks although less is more normal.

e.g. A 3 x 2 layout with 6 tracks...
