How can I add an Image Strip with no stretching?

Hello,

How can I add an Image Strip with no stretching?

I am editing a 1920x1280 video and I need to add a small 100x100 icon, how can I add it without stretching it completely to 1920x1280?

Thank you!

Make a 1920x1280 Transparent Picture (with Photoshop, Gimp etc.) and place the Icon on it.

If you check the Image Offset box in the VSE properties panel (N-key), the selected strip will be shown in its original size. You can then also move the image around by adjusting the X- and Y-offset values.

Thanks Dito, but that is the method I have been using and it’s not friendly!

YES! This is exactly what I wanted to find! Thank you CD38!!

Does this work if you also “animate” anything on the strip, I mean like inserting key-frames for opacity?

As far as I can tell, only setting Image Offset works.
