Zoom: Allows you to blow the image up or shrink it down.

Rotate: Rotates the image around the center.

Width: Stretches or squeezes the image in one direction only.

Height: Stretches or squeezes the image in one direction only.

Pitch: Rotates the image toward or away from the camera along an axis running through the center of the image, from left to right. Positive values push the top of the image away and bring the bottom of the image forward. Negative values bring the top of the image forward and push the bottom of the image away. Higher values stretch the image more extremely.

Yaw: Rotates the image toward or away from the camera along an axis running through the center of the image from top to bottom. Positive values bring the left of the image forward and push the right of the image away. Negative values push the left of the image away and bring the right of the image forward. Higher values stretch the image more extremely.

Flip Horizontal/Vertical: Two checkboxes let you flip the image in different dimensions.

Flip Horizontal: Reverses the image along the X-axis, left to right.

Flip Vertical: Reverses the clip along the Y-axis, turning it upside down.


Image Adjustment

Crop: This checkbox exposes the crop tools, allowing you to selectively remove parts of the frame from each side.

Edge Softness: This control sets the amount of feathering to the Alpha channel for compositing.

Edge Rounding: This control rounds the corners of the Alpha channel for compositing.


Animation

Motion Blur: Keyframing the transform so the frame moves rapidly will create a blurring effect. The amount of the blur is controlled using the Motion Blur slider.


Advanced Options

image

Edge Behavior: This menu determines how edges of the frame are handled when the transforms are scaled smaller than the Timeline Resolution.

Transparent: The area outside the transformed image is set to be transparent, allowing the video on tracks underneath this one to be shown behind the image.

Reflect: The image is flipped and flopped to create a mirrored image, which extends to the Timeline Resolution frame boundary.

Wrap-Around: Duplicates the image to create a video wall effect, which is used to fill in the space to the Timeline Resolution frame boundary.

Replicate: Duplicates the outermost pixels along the edge of the image. The pixels are stretched out from each side to reach the Timeline Resolution boundary.

Composite Type: Sets the Composite type for blending multiple video layers together.

For more information on what each Composite type does, see Chapter 50, “Compositing and Transforms in the Timeline.”
