Stills Imported and PIP HOW DO I?

[Imagine Video]

OK people I need your help, PLEASE! I am scratching my head here....I am trying to add a still image on the time line of EDIUS 4.5 and then put a white 5pt border around ONLY the picture. I can do this in PREMIER 6.5 with Canopus PIP FILTER.

BUT in EDIUS the picture is on the time line and the border goes all around the picture with black background fill.

The pictures are various sizes so not all 720 x 576 I am working In PAL

ALSO

How can I centre a video transition and when increase the transition length use video from clip A and clip B equaly??????????

I am not sure I follow what you want but 3d pip( look under keyers) has a tab for enabling a border of any color and size you want. Now if the problem is the "black background then that is easy. Move the pip w/ border to a higher track and make a color matt to put underneath it....if nothing is below a track edius defaults to black so the only way to change that is with a matt or other background.
On the transition try changing the application settings>uncheck the "set cutting point of transition to front". That should make the default the middle....or you can use A/B style like the old days of 6.5.

Sometimes I open up TMpro, make a textbox, define the picture as a logo, an insert the/picture in the textbox, then you can edge the picture, move it around and so on
