to apply various transform settings to your clip, such as to resize, position, and rotate your clip, click the transform tab or the transform track:

   

    · position lets you position your clip on x-y-z coordinates (horizontal, vertical, depth).

    · size lets you resize your clip.

    · offset lets you move the pivot point for rotating your clip.

    · rotation lets you set the number of spins of the clip on its x, y, or z axis.

    you can adjust the transform settings in the following ways:

    · use the transform controls to select the settings you want.

    · choose commands from the transform menu to set a particular size and position, such as half-screen size in the bottom-right corner.

    · work directly in the preview window using your mouse. for example, you can click and drag to resize, rotate, or position your clip.

    many of the matrox effects, such as advanced dves, already have transform settings defined as keyframes on the transform track. for details on how to change a clip's transform settings over time by creating and editing keyframes, see "working with keyframes" on page 88.
