Geometry
The Geometry Room provides a way to zoom into shots,
create pan and scan effects, draw custom mattes for
vignetted secondary operations, and track moving subjects
to automate the animation of vignettes and shapes.
The Geometry room is divided into an image preview (which contains the onscreen
controls for all of the functions in this room), and three tabs to the right. Each tab has
different tools to perform specific functions. The Pan & Scan tab lets you resize, rotate,
flip, and flop shots as necessary. The Shapes tab lets you create custom masks to use
with secondary corrections. Finally, the Tracking tab provides an interface for creating
and applying motion tracking, to use with vignettes and custom shapes in your project.
This chapter covers the following:

 Tracking Tab (p. 306)
Navigating Within the Image Preview
Each of the tabs in the Geometry room relies upon onscreen controls in the image
preview area to the left of the controls tabs. You can zoom in or out and scroll around
this area to get a better look at your image while you work, and you can even zoom
and pan around while you’re in the middle of drawing a shape.

m Right-click and drag up to zoom out, and down to zoom into the image preview.
To pan around the image preview:
m Middle-click to drag the image preview in any direction.
To reframe the image preview to fit to the current size of the screen:
