Working with Vector-Based Objects

To remove multiple control points:
t Shift+click the control points, and then press the Delete key.
Your Avid editing application attempts to reconstruct the object so that it does not change.
The results you see might vary because of the internal mechanics and geometry of Bézier
curve technology. However, adding and then removing the same control point should not
dramatically change the curve of that section of an object.
Moving to Adjacent Control Points
You can move from a control point to an adjacent control point without having to click the
mouse.
To move to an adjacent control point:
1. Click a control point.
2. Do one of the following:
t Click the Fast Forward button to move in a clockwise fashion to the next control point.
t Click the Rewind button to move in a counterclockwise fashion to the next control point.
Moving Control Points
Before you select control points for moving, first click the Selection tool, and click the object to
display the control points.
To move a single control point manually:
t Drag the control point to its new location.
The control point’s direction bars do not change orientation.
To move multiple control points manually:
t Click one control point, Shift+click or lasso additional control points that you want to move,
and then drag one of the selected control points.
All other selected control points move in unison. To deselect the group, click any unselected
control point.
To move all control points manually:
t Press Ctrl+A (Windows) or Command+A (Macintosh) to select all control points, and then
drag one of the selected control points.
All other control points move in unison. To deselect the group, click outside the object to
deselect it.
