To move a clip down:
m Enter a positive value for the clip’s y coordinate.
To move a clip up:
m Enter a negative value for the clip’s y coordinate.
For example, suppose the center point of the clip on track V2 is –218, –119. This puts the
clip 218 pixels to the left and 119 pixels up from the Canvas center point.
When you copy and paste these attributes to the clip on track V3, the clip appears in
exactly the same place. However, if you change its x coordinate from negative 218 to
positive 218, you put that clip’s center point 218 pixels to the right of the Canvas center
point, which moves it to the other side.
Important: When you adjust a clip’s Rotation parameter, the clip is automatically
rendered using the Fastest motion filtering quality. For more information, see “ How
Rotation Affects Motion Filtering Quality ” on page 667.
