Video Propertes

These properties control the visual look of a clip.

These properties only affect the selected clips.

All of these properties can be varied over time by using a Video Action.
For example, a "Ken Burns" Zoom and Pan effect can be accomplished with a Video Action.

Properties

  • Scale

    Controls the scale of the object.
    Scales equally in both X and Y direction, overriding any modified aspect ratio.

    If you want to change the aspect ratio, you can click on the object in the Preview Area and Position it manually.

  • Rotation

    Allows you to rotate the object in the X, Y, and Z planes.

    When using the wheels, you should move the mouse far away from the wheel to gain accuracy.

  • Opacity

    Controls the alpha channel in the clip. This is how much you can "see through" the clip to what is behind it.

    When used in a Video Action, you can fade-in or fade-out a clip.

  • Reflection

    You can add a reflection to the bottom of your clip, and vary the intensity of that reflection via the slider.

  • Shadow

    Allows you to create a drop-shadow for the clip, controlling the Angle, color, offset, opacity, and blur.

  • Add Video Action

    Adds a video action which allows you to vary the above properties over time.
