FCP7 ‘Center’ vs. Premiere Pro ‘Position’ Parameter
In FCP7 you could click the “+” Icon and move the video/photo around in the program window.
In Premiere Pro you can click and drag the X & Y parameters separately to move the video/photo around in the program window.
Is there a way to move the position of the video/photo within the program window like you can in FCP7?
I made a video demonstrating what I am asking: https://youtu.be/bmGd4aDO5D8

Select the clip in the timeline or highlight the word Motion.
A yellow bounding box will appear.
Select clip in Window and drag around, you can even use the up down left or right arrow.———————————————–

In Premiere Pro, you can activate what FCP calls wireframe mode, by either single-clicking on the word “Motion” in the Effects Controls or by double-clicking the picture in the program monitor.

Like how you can even use the option+up down left right arrows in FCP 7? 🙂

OK I will take it one step further. In FCP 7.0, you could select multiple clips at once by drawing a lasso around them which put them in to wireframe mode. You could then go up to the viewer and move all of those clips together as one unit with the mouse (or nudge). This was EXTREMELY helpful if you had the layout of something perfect, but you wanted to nudge the whole thing 5px to the right.
You can do it in After Effects by selecting multiple clips and grabbing one property slider, all the properties follow. Yes, I know I could copy and paste attributes, but that would mess up the layout. I suppose I could nest the sequence, but there seems like there should be an easier way. When I try it, the preview window just says “Multiple Clips Selected.” Obviously! haha.
Also, any idea how to nudge with the keyboard, like option+ (left, right, up down)? That was a huge help to when trying to dial things in.
Thanks 🙂
