Creating a 4-corner pin effect

Preview Settings

You can select the following options for previewing

your effect:

$

Show Cursors

Displays a diamond-shaped cursor at each corner of your

clip on your video monitor only. These cursors can help you precisely
determine where each corner is located. Each corner has a different colored
cursor as follows:

Top Left: Red

Top Right: Green

Bottom Left: Blue

Bottom Right: Orange

$

Show Color Frame Only

Displays a semi-transparent shape that

represents the clip to which you are applying the 4-corner pin effect. This
is useful if you’re positioning an alpha-keyed title, for example, and you
need to see the edges of the clip.

$

Color

To select a different color for the color frame, use the color picker

button or the eyedropper.

¥ Tip

The

Show Color Frame Only

option is provided as a viewing aid

while setting up your 4-corner pin effect. However, you can choose to leave
it selected to create a unique lighting effect, such as to create a flashlight
beam.

Enhance Sharpness

Lets you adjust the sharpness of your clip.
