You can also use the Left and Right arrows on your keyboard to nudge the position. Press
Shift+Right or Shift+Left arrow key to nudge by 10 points. You can also press Shift and
select multiple objects to nudge simultaneously.
To reposition a track in multiple axes:
1. Select the image.
2. Drag the image in any direction.
Rotating an Object
You can spin, tumble, or rotate an object around any of the three axes.
The X,Y, and Z (tumble, spin, and rotate) are calculated in a particular order that often
affects the results. The rotation order is user selectable making it possible to change the
rotation order to enable a particular desired effect more easily. This also makes it possible to
easily match the results of a rotation effect created in another application that uses a different
rotation order.
When you are creating static rotations, the order is not important; the final image matches
the appearance in the Composite window. The rotation order becomes important when you
create animated rotations. You can set the order in the Position tab of the Controls window.
