    Hi, I can’t figure out how to shift the wireframe in small increments. And if there is a keyboard stroke for this. i’ve been click dragging with the mouse and it’s hard to be precise that way. Also, if i just want to shift the wireframe horizontally, i can press shift while dragging so as not to disrupt the vertical alignment?

    OK, again, please lemme know how to move it in small increments and if there are keyboard shortcuts for this.
    thanks!

    with the clip selected, and the canvas the active window,
    hold OPTION, and use the up/down, left/right buttons.

    these buttons have different function if the timeline is the active window, so be careful about that

    actually if you ZOOM IN on the canvas, you can be VERY precise.
    you can get finer detail than with the arrows, but the arrows are very easy to use.

    [raju bhai] ” if i just want to shift the wireframe horizontally, i can press shift while dragging so as not to disrupt the vertical alignment?”

    is this a question?
    the answer is YES
