How to make video on video using iMovie?

I want to create a video that shows a small video on the corner of the screen. Is it possible in iMovie? Thank you.

Yes, you can insert a video into another video with the Picture in Picture overlay feature.


 Drag the overlay video into the upper timeline of your iMovie project, above the clip into which you want to insert the video.  

Select the overlay video in the upper timeline by clicking on it.  Click on the overlay icon (the one that looks like overlapping squares) that appears in the tool bar at the upper right of your project screen.   Choose Picture in Picture in the selection box that appears. Adjust the size and position of the overlay video on the preview screen. (You can drag the adjustment

rectangle outside the boundaries of the screen if need be.)  Click on the blue reset button to the right of the project screen to insert the overlay into your clip. 


Here's an online help link that provides more detail on how to use the Picture in Picture feature:
