  • Dragging content independently of transform frame

    Posted by Nick Harambee on November 2, 2013 at 3:08 pm

    Hi,

    I have a video clip that somehow has been positioned partially outside of the ‘Transform’ frame, i.e. the frame that appears when you click the transform icon. See image below:

    I would like to be able to drag the video back inside the transform frame, as I suspect that it being outside is affecting one or two of the transitions that I have in place. I am aware that with text I can move the textbox within a frame, but not sure how to do this with video clips.

    Could someone please let me know how I do this.

    Thanks,

    Nick

    This is not possible (or not supposed to be possible) with video clips. What kind of clip (format, eg.) are you using? Have you tried resetting the transform button in the inspector? Or deleting the preferences? Are you sure you’re not accidentally selecting an empty text layer above your video layer?

    Basically, this shouldn’t be happening.

    Yes, a screenshot of what’s in the timeline at this frame would help….
