Step 5: Add following code in Button1 click event.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 string strVideo1 = "c:\yourfolder\yourvideo1.mp4";

 float iVideo1Duration = axTimelineControl1.GetMediaDuration(strVideo1);

_iVideoWidth = axTimelineControl1.GetMediaWidth(strVideo1);
_iVideoHeight = axTimelineControl1.GetMediaHeight(strVideo1);

 axTimelineControl1.AddVideoClip(axTimelineControl1.GetVideo1TrackIndex(), strVideo1, 0, iVideo1Duration, 0,0);

 axTimelineControl1.AddAudioClip(axTimelineControl1.GetAudio1TrackIndex(), strVideo1, 0, iVideo1Duration, 0, 1);

} 
Step 6: Add following code in Button2 click event.
public uint Color2Uint32(Color clr)

Step 8: Add following code in Button3 click event. It will set Picture in Picture effect for 30 seconds. Set mediaTrack to 3, it means use Video track 1 and Image track for Picture in Picture effect. It will display overlay image on video.

private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     axTimelineControl1.SetPicinPicParam(0, 0, _iVideoWidth, _iVideoHeight);
    axTimelineControl1.AddTransition(axTimelineControl1.GetTransitionTrackIndex(), "Pic in Pic", 0,30, "", 3, 0);
}
Step 9: Add following code in Form load event.

{
      axTimelineControl1.SetPreviewWnd((int)pictureBox1.Handle);
}

private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
axTimelineControl1.SetVideoTrackResolution(_iVideoWidth, _iVideoHeight);     
axTimelineControl1.Play();    
}

Step 11: Now you can run the sample and click the button to play the timeline. Make sure you changed to correct path of strVideo1 and strImage first.
