The most helpful explanation I came across on this topic was [[http://www.newtek.com/forums/showpost.php?p=800416&postcount=8 this forum post]].  I opted to install the Aura plugin and the included tutorial is extremely helpful for getting started.
 
=== Create a simple picture in picture using Aura ===
 
Here are the quick steps for creating an angled picture in picture view with blurred edges (from memory, may not be exactly right):
 
# Open a new project in Aura
 
# Name the first layer Input
 
# Open the liveset brush creator (Filters>LiveSet>LiveSet Brush Creator)
 
# Click on the Full Screen Layer button
 
# Create a new layer and name it FX
 
# In the brush generator set the size to what you want for your picture in picture window and then click Create Brush
 
# Optionally if you want to crop the brush follow this steps first
 
## Change the view to only show 1 layer (= sign)
 
## Stamp the brush onto the blank layer
 
## Press the b key to enable the rectangle select tool
 
## Select the new cropped brush space you want to use
 
## Type shift-k to clear the layer
 
# Open Filters>Motion>KeyFramer
 
# Check the Preview box
 
# Adjust parameters as needed (in this case the H A is changed to 45 degrees)
 
# Click Apply Filter
 
# Open the blur filter (Blut>Blur)
 
# Configure the blur amount (2 in this case)
 
# Click Apply Filter
 
# Open the LiveSet Generator (Filters>LiveSet>LiveSet Generator
 
# Set the Effects Warp Type to Complex (this is required to render the angled video I believe)
 
# Name the scene and the shot
 
# Click on Create LiveSet
 
# Open VT5 and you will now be able to select the LiveSet and shot (the effects bus will display within the pip window
