This tutorial shows how to use the Cookie Cutter Effect in Magix Movie Studio and Video Pro X to punch simple geometric shapes and create a picture-in-picture or inset image or inset video. The inset image or video can have a coloured border, or not. With no border plus feathering, the result is a blended composite. Most of the parameters can be key-framed.

Video Pro X16 was used but everything is the same in all versions of Magix Movie Studio up to 2025, with the exception of the Size/Position effect in older versions that was changed in 2022 and in Video Pro X 13.
