Select the point control for the Center parameter and move the pointer to the Canvas
(the pointer changes to a crosshair), then click in the upper-left corner of the Canvas.

Point control for the
Center parameter

The new coordinates
of the clip’s center
point appear in these
number fields.

The change is also
reflected in the Canvas.

Clicking in the Canvas with the crosshair moves the x and y values of that clip’s center
point to the pixel you clicked. In this case, the first (x) coordinate reads “–218” and the
second (y) coordinate reads “–119.” You can also reposition the clip by entering these
values in the Center number fields.

Note: For more information about using basic geometry to position clips, see

“Using

Cartesian Geometry to Position Clips.”

Next, you’ll add another clip to your composite.
