Press Play, and you’ll see that you quickly created a background layer with a smaller, moving
layer on top. To help separate the two, click the Enabled button on the Shadows control and play
again.

ROTATION

You also have full 3D rotation, which can be adjusted by moving the cursor outside the edge of
the clip until you see the tool Hint ‘Rotate’. Left-click and drag the mouse to rotate the object
along the Z-angle. Right-click and drag left or right to rotate on the Y angle; Drag up or down to
rotate along X.

To crop this clip, you move the cursor just
outside one of the clip edges in the controls
view until the cursor Hint changes to ‘Crop’.
(Dragging with left mouse button will crop all
four edges; the right mouse button affects
only the selected edge.)

Soft edges are also desirable, and we can do
that here too! Move the cursor just inside
the edge of the clip (so the cursor Hint reads
Smooth’) and drag inward.

SLOW MOTION

If you need slow motion, simply place the mouse over the edge of this clip, then pressing the Alt
key (note the cursor changes from IN or OUT to ‘Stretch’) and left-click and drag the clip to make
it longer.

Dragging the clip to twice its length will cause playback at 50 percent speed. You can now adjust
the in and out points of this clip, and the playback speed will remain as you set it.
