Transform Controls

The most commonly used transform node is Move2D. The Move2D node combines the
controls of the Rotate, Pan, and Scale nodes into a single operation. These nodes share a
number of onscreen transform controls that enable you to manipulate images directly
in the Viewer.

Pan

The pan controls provide two ways to move the image within the Viewer. Drag
anywhere within the image bounding box to reposition the image freely. Drag the
vertical arrowhead to restrict position changes to the yPan parameter. Drag the
horizontal arrowhead to restrict position changes to the xPan parameter.

You can also press Q or P while dragging anywhere within the Viewer to pan an image
without having to position the pointer directly over it.

Scale

Drag any of the corner controls to scale the entire image up or down, affecting the
xScale and yScale parameters. Drag the top or bottom controls to scale the image
vertically, affecting only the yScale parameter. Drag the left or right controls to scale
the image horizontally, affecting only the xScale parameter.

Path Display–Keyframe

Displays only the keyframe positions in the Viewer. To access
this mode, click and hold the Path Display button, then choose
this button from the pop-up menu.

Path Display–Hide

The motion path and keyframes are not displayed in the
Viewer. To access this mode, click and hold the Path Display
button, then choose this button from the pop-up menu.
