6 Drag the Rotation Angle control (the dial) to the left so that it reads “–28.”
A negative value rotates the clip to the left; a positive value rotates it to the right.
Next, you’ll change the position of this clip in the Canvas.
7 Select the point control for the Center parameter and move the pointer to the Canvas
(the pointer changes to a crosshair), then click in the upper-left corner of the Canvas.
Clicking in the Canvas with the crosshair moves the x and y values of that clip’s center
point to the pixel you clicked. In this case, the first (x) coordinate reads “–218” and the
second (y) coordinate reads “–119”. You can also reposition the clip by entering these
values in the Center number fields.
This is the angle in
degrees that your
clip is rotated.
The change is also
reflected in the
Canvas.
Point control for the
Center parameter
The new coordinates
of the clip’s center
point appear in these
number fields.
The change is also
reflected in the
Canvas.
