Point Control
Point controls are used to specify locations in the Canvas.
To define a new location with x and y coordinates:
1
In the Filters tab of the Viewer, click the point control.
2
Move the pointer to the Canvas.
The pointer changes to the crosshair pointer in the Canvas.
3
Click anywhere in the Canvas to position a coordinate at that location.
∏
Tip: You can also drag in the Canvas and then release the mouse button when the
pointer is at the appropriate location. If you drag instead of clicking, the values update
as the crosshair moves.
For more information about positioning clips in the Canvas, see “
