FLOATING VIDEO SHORTS

Picture-in-Picture Shorts

Picture-in-picture is one of the most useful Short layouts because it lets two visual ideas share one vertical frame. A background can carry context while a smaller floating video carries the action, commentary or supporting footage.

Quick answer

Add your source video to a floating media window, drag it to the best position, resize it, choose fit or fill, add a border if needed and record the finished Short.

When picture-in-picture works best

Use picture-in-picture when the viewer benefits from seeing both the main scene and supporting video at the same time, such as commentary, archive clips, sports footage or gaming facecam.

Make the floating video large enough

A common mistake is making picture-in-picture too small. If viewers cannot understand the footage instantly, the window is not helping.

KIPZO tip: Build the complete 9:16 layout visually before recording. It is easier to spot video-size, text-position and background problems before you capture the final Short.

Use a border to separate layers

When the floating video contains similar colours to the background, a border helps define the edge.

Position around the subject, not a template

The correct position depends on the background image and source video. Move the window to open visual space rather than forcing every Short into the same corner.
