Hi Gid thanks for your reply, unfortunately mine does not do that, might have at one time. i even tried resetting to default. mine becomes a solid block and what is frustrating is if i click it , it goes back to where i started the vid at and i have lost the place i wanted to stop at in the video.

@Bill-the-repair-guy That might be the 2023 version, I don't have that to check, mine is 2024.

if i click it , it goes back to where i started the vid 

Did you change this setting in your previous post?

Hi,

In 2023, the playback button changes to a square during playback, that is all. Don't expect to see it when nothing is being played back.

Stop=Pause. There is nothing else. Or, just press the spacebar to play, spacebar to stop.

thank you everyone. I have another question u might be able to answer .....or should I create a new thread? the PiP is a square box, is there a way to change it's dimensions? like make it longer horizontal as opposed vertical or in other words track the movie clip dimensions of the clip i am using

@Bill-the-repair-guy

Hi Bill.

There are two basic tools you can use to produce a PiP in the effects section. The Size Position Rotation and Section. Both allow their sizes to be altered in either direction without being linked. They are linked by default but can be unlinked.

Watch my tutorials on Size/Position/Rotation.

Here is part 1 and I suggest that you watch part 2 as well:

Here is part 3 with examples:
