Chapter 6, Setting Up Realtime Effects with Adobe Premiere
Using the transform controls
You can use the text boxes or sliders to position, resize, or rotate your clip. For
information on how to use the text boxes and sliders, see page 89.
°There are four types of transform settings that you can work with:
• Position Use these controls to position your clip on the x (horizontal), y
(vertical), and z (depth) axes. Values of (0,0,0) pixels align the center of your
clip with the center of the screen, and positions are measured from this point.
You can enter positive or negative pixel values to move your clip right or left
(x), up or down (y), and forward or backward (z).
•
Size Use these controls to make your clip smaller or larger. Full-screen
size is represented as 100%. You can shrink your clip to 0% or enlarge it to
1000%. Note, however, that by enlarging your clip, the resolution may
become blurry. You can adjust the size controls individually, or if you select
Fixed aspect ratio, you only need to adjust one axis, and the others
automatically take the same value. Adjusting the percentage on the x and y
axes changes your clip’s width and height, respectively. You’ll only notice
adjustments to the z axis when you have depth in your effect, such as in the
advanced DVE effects.
•
Offset and Rotation Use the Offset controls to set the pivot point, or
center of rotation, of your clip. When
Rotation settings are applied, your
clip spins around this point. You can use positive or negative pixel values to
offset your clip on the x (horizontal), y (vertical), and z (depth) axes. Each
rotation of 360° produces one spin on the selected axis. You can have
positive or negative rotation from -3600° to 3600°, which is equal to -10 to
10 spins, depending on the direction you want your clip to rotate.
