Would like to know what program everyone uses to add a video into a video. Did not find anything using "search". I just started using 2 cameras for track vids and would like to make 1 video showing the front vid and a smaller box for the rear vid. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I use Power Director and find it pretty powerful without being complicated. The first clip is from the 4th of July fireworks I set off each year and has a PIP of the sky and launch site (Go to 15min:50sec for the good stuff



The second is just to show how it works multiple clips and blended audio while flying my Drone around the house.

I used to use MovieMaker (free) but wanted something more in depth. I use Power Director11 (PD13 is the latest version) - lots of options including multiple video and audio tracks for layering.

Resized four different videos for a simple split screen effect

I used three different videos at the beginning of this video and used 'masks' to blend the edges.

Thanks! My wife got it for me as as my Christmas toy (I'm 33 years old and I still must have a toy for Christmas). I'm a terrible pilot but once I get the hang of it I can see this being a great tool as well as a toy. It's not a professional drone by any means but it does take nice still photos and the video footage is certainly useable.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I will have to review each and see what is the best fit for me (not too complicated).

I would suggest to use MovieMaker. It's free and a good place to start. Make a few videos and then start checking out other video editors that cost money to see which options/features are important to you. Depending what you are doing, you may just want to keep using MM and save your $$ for a tank of gas!

Thanks for the additional info. Will more than likely start with the Moviemaker.
