Changing the Shape of Media
CyberLink PowerDirector lets you change the shape of the media in your video
production. Videos, images, and PiP objects added to the timeline have freeform
properties, so you can easily change their shape to create media that is different
from the usual rectangle or square shape.
CyberLink PowerDirector lets you change the X and Y positions for the four corners
and the center of a media clip, giving it a custom freeform shape.
Note: the top-left corner of the video frame is the 0 axis, with the bottom-
right corner having a value of 1.0, 1.0. The center position in the video
frame is 0.500, 0.500.
To change the shape of a media clip, do this:
1. Select a media clip on the timeline, and then ensure that you are in the Clip
preview mode so that the media crosshairs are displayed.
2. Use your mouse to click and drag the blue nodes in the corners of the media
clip, changing it to the desired freeform shape.
