Repositioning an Image
 
 
 

Repositioning involves scaling, rotating, and horizontally and vertically moving images to ensure that the correct elements are visible in the frame. You need to do this after adjusting the project aspect ratio. If you do not, key elements of the shot composition may be cropped or even completely off screen.

You can zoom into the image and offset the position in the horizontal and vertical directions.

To reposition an image:

  1. Make sure you have set the aspect ratio to match the intended output format. See Setting the Aspect Ratio.
  2. Select the shot to adjust.
  3. Click Image, and then click Reposition.

    The Reposition menu appears.

  5. Use the Scale, Horizontal, Vertical, Rotate, and Aspect sliders to adjust the image scale and positioning as needed.

    As you modify the image, the Preview window visually shows the relationship of the cropped frame to the original image.
