Adjust or animate clip anchor points

By default, a clip anchor point is set at the exact center of a clip. You can change the position of a clip in relation to its
frame or motion path, however, by moving the clip anchor point. Further, you can change the location of the clip
anchor point over time, allowing the clip to move in relation to its frame or motion path. Animating the clip anchor
point can be used, for example, to create an image-panning effect.

1

In a Timeline panel, place the current-time indicator at the beginning of a clip.

2

Click on the clip in the Program Monitor.

The clip anchor point becomes visible at the center of the clip.
