Editing Your M edia
CyberLink PowerDirector lets you change the X and Y positions for the four corners
and the center of a media clip, giving it a custom freeform shape.
Note: the top-left corner of the video frame is the 0 axis, with the bottom-right
corner having a value of 1.0, 1.0. The center position in the video frame is 0.500,
0.500.
To change the shape of a media clip, do this:
1. Select a media clip on the timeline, and then ensure that you are in the Clip
preview mode so that the media crosshairs are displayed.
2. Use your mouse to click and drag the blue nodes in the corners of the media
clip, changing it to the desired freeform shape.
Note: you can also change the shape of media clips by altering their freeform
positions using keyframes. See Utilizing Keyframes on Media for more
information.
