When I create an adjustment clip and set some transform settings in the edit window and then save it to the bid to re-use anytime it never works when I place it on other clips.

Also when I place an adjustment clip on top of two clips and then do a zoom-in it shows a black background so I can not see the clip under it.
How can I make the clip under it show so I have a pip box one over the other as an adjustment clip?
Or a way to pick the top video 2 track to only zoom in so the track 1 s still shows.

Then how can I save this so I can re-use it over and over?

v17?

Works for me in R17 with both power bins and regular bins. Are you sure you've applied the transform to the adjustment clip, and not a different clip by mistake?

Yes it is on the adjustment clip here is a screengrab this is an adjustment clip dropped on another clip you can see the adjustment settings but they are not applying to the clip under it for playback. This was in 17.

I just got in my Studio 17 yesterday and will test it in that today.

Also here is a zoom-in using an adjustment clip that just shows all black not the clip under it.

I would like to use the transform settings to create a movement that I can save and reuse for making photo images look like panning and moving video clips.
I created 6 of them dragged into the power bin and renamed and then when used on other clips non of them worked.

I think I see what you're saying. I wouldn't use adjustment clips to create a re-usable picture-in-picture effect. An adjustment clip affects everything stacked underneath it, and that's just going to create a mess when you're trying to use different layers with different transformations.

Try the new video collage effect. Read what the new features guide says about it. Use the "Create Tile" Workflow. Save one instance of it in your media pool or power bins once you've got it tweaked the way you want it, copy and paste attributes to instantiate instances of it onto new clips, and then all you have to change in each new instance is the "Active Tile" dropdown to assign clips to their corresponding windows.

If the copy-paste attributes workflow feels a little hack-y and you want something more structured, you could try to implement it as a Fusion Effect, which is also new in R17. The benefit would be that it would be listed in the effects library, you could apply it with one-click, and build yourself custom controls in the inspector.
