Compositing With the MultiPlane Node

To rotate a layer in the Viewer without using the angle controls:

1

Select a layer.

2

Press W or O and click in a pane of the Viewer.

3

When the dimension pointer appears, move the pointer in the direction in which you
want to rotate the layer. The colors in the pointer correspond to the angle controls.

4

When you move the pointer, the axis in which you first move is indicated by a single
axis arrow, and the layer rotates in that dimension.

Scale Controls

Selected layers have eight scale controls located around the outer edge of the image.

The four corner controls rescale the layer, keeping the relative width and height of
the layer constrained.

The left and right controls let you scale just the width of the layer.

The top and bottom controls let you scale just the height.

By default, all scale transformations occur about the layer’s center point. Alternatively,
you can hold down the Command or Control key while you drag any of the scale
controls to scale a layer relative to the opposite scale control.

To scale a layer in the Viewer without using the scale handles:

1

Select a layer.

2

Position the pointer over a pane of the Viewer and hold down the E or I key.

The dimension pointer appears.
