P OSITION ( AND C ROP )
The Position control group includes Position , Zoom,
Rotation , and Priority . Position settings can be
toggled on and off together using the switch
provided in the group header.
Click and drag on the Position button (diamond) to
relocate the DSK layer vertically or horizontally
within the frame.
Drag left or right on either of the two nearby
numeric controls to adjust a single axis only.
Dragging the cursor on the Zoom button
(magnifying glass) affects the apparent size of the
overlay. Again, if you drag just one of the associated
numeric gadgets you can adjust just one dimension
of the corresponding
DSK layer – width or height.
In similar fashion, drag the pointer over the
Rotation button with the left mouse button
depressed to turn the overlay source on three axes
as follows:
• Drag left/right to rotate the source about
the Y (vertical) axis.
• Drag up/down to rotate about the X (horizontal) axis.
• Drag while holding Alt down to rotate about the Z axis.
• Drag on a single numeric slider, or hold down Ctrl to constrain rotation to one axis.
Hint: If you click a numeric field (or right-click it), you can type a value
into the gadget using the keyboard; press Enter to complete the
editing action, or Esc to cancel it).
The Crop DSK/KEY controls in this group are similar to those found
in the Input tab , as discussed back in Section 8.1.1. However, these
settings are applied to the DSK/KEY layer, without any impact on the
source itself as it may be displayed elsewhere in the Switcher .
Z-P RIORITY
Normally, KEY and DSK layers appear in numeric order from ‘back’
(furthest from the viewer) to ‘front’. This is if DSK 1 and DSK 2 are
both displayed and occupy the same position in the frame, the
content in
DSK 2 will occlude DSK 1 .
DSK and KEY layers automatically
appear on the Preview and ( M/E
Preview ) monitors when the
Position panel is open (regardless
of layer display options).
This allows you to modify a
layer’s position without the result
being inadvertently shown on
output.
