how can you add a background image with a video in Blender? I would like to use a video from the screen of my phone (the size is in "portrait" mode), and add a background to fill the rest of the screen, so that it can fit the size in youtube. Thanks Edit: here is a good video that explains how to proceed (videos 11 and 12) : [this video]

thanks very much for your help. Im trying to animating in VSE because rendering is faster. Just try to know the maximum I can get from VSE. Go to this tutorial and see in the minute 5:18 [this video] it's possible.

Using the Video Editing I'm try to animate a picture rotating it. Looks it's only possible with pivot centered. A Youtuber tutorial show someone rotating imagen from the corner...

In the absence of answers after 18 hours and meagre 12 views, I’ll start building my own answer – block by block. How to locate target spot on a strip at a very high zoom? Reverse your workflow by centering the strip on target spot first, but begin at a manageable Scale. Then multiply Scale and Position (or Position shift value if initial Position wasn’t zero) by exactly the same factor. Fine-tune Position if you can. If you can’t, undo last multiplication and redo it using a smaller factor. Repeat until you reach the desired Scale. a) How to disable cropping of the output to the Render Area in the preview window? — (Impossible?) b) How to pan a strip in the preview area? (Impossible?)
