Using the Onscreen Controls

The onscreen controls for the Pan & Scan tab consist of an outer bounding box that
represents the scaled output with four handles at each corner and a pair of action safe
and title safe indicators within. By default, the onscreen control is the same size as the
resolution of your project.

The onscreen controls are designed to work in conjunction with the image that’s displayed
by the preview and broadcast displays. In other words, you use the onscreen controls to
isolate the portion of the image you want to output, and you view the actual
transformation on the preview and broadcast displays.

To resize a shot

µ

Drag any of the four corners of the onscreen control to resize the shot relative to its center.

The onscreen control shrinks or expands to include less or more of the image, and the
preview and broadcast displays show the result. This also adjusts the Scale parameter.

To rotate a shot

µ

Drag just outside the four corner handles, right to rotate left, and left to rotate right.
