Clip Effects
Clicking the Tools button in the Viewer toolbar opens up additional categories of controls that
let you apply various effects to the current clip, or adjust whatever effect is already applied to
the current clip. Many of the parameters of these effects have corresponding onscreen controls
that let you make visual adjustments directly in the Viewer.
The Tools button
Shared Controls
Every category of effect at the bottom of the Viewer has two shared controls. A toggle control
at the far left lets you enable or disable an effect without losing whatever custom adjustments
you’ve made. A reset control at the far right lets you reset every parameter within a particular
category of controls to the default settings.
The Toggle button (at left) and Reset button (at right)
Transform Effects
When you select Transform Effects, onscreen transform controls appear that let you directly
manipulate the image in the Viewer. You can drag anywhere within the clip’s bounding box to
adjust pan and tilt, drag any diagonal corner to proportionally resize, drag any top/bottom/left/
right side to squeeze or stretch width or height, or drag the center handle to rotate. These
parameters are also editable in the Edit page Inspector and the Color page Edit Sizing palette.
Onscreen Transform controls in the Viewer
TIP: While dragging a clip using the onscreen controls to reposition it, holding the Shift
key down constrains movement to just the X or Y axes.
The onscreen controls also correspond to the following editable parameters, which are also
editable in the Edit page Inspector and in the Edit Sizing mode of the Sizing palette in the
Color page:
Zoom Width and Height: Allows you to blow the image up or shrink it down. The X and
Y parameters can be linked to lock the aspect ratio of the image, or released to stretch
or squeeze the image in one direction only.
Position X and Y: Moves the image within the frame, allowing pan and scan
adjustments to be made. X moves the image left or right, and Y moves the image
up or down.
