Default Multiple images on screen???? HELP

I'm about to buy Pinnacle 10.5, but haven't yet.

I love the look of multiple videos/images on a screen at the same time, such as the Brady Bunch images with all the actors on the screen in separate windows but each moving on it's own apart from the others. I'd guess you know what I mean.

Can anyone offer some insight on how to make this happen with a fairly inexpensive editing program, even if it's not Pinnacle?

Thanks!

-Mike

With Magix Movie Edit Pro, put each clip on it's own track, there's 16 available. Then use the zoom and pan on each to position it where you want it on the final output screen. Add fades, etc to suit.

You could also resize/rescale the video clips to whatever the screensize is. For example, if you live in the UK and your screensize is 720 X 576 then half those measurements to 360 X 288 and this will allow you to get 2 videos playing at the top and two videos playing at the bottom, giving you 4 video tracks onscreen at the same time.
