Using 3D Transformations (NewsEdit XT only)
In addition to using effects in your sequences, you can also use 3D
Transformations. 3D Transformations create an additional dimension to a video
effect. NewsEdit XT provides a variety of 3D Transformations to choose from.
For a complete description of each transformation and its properties, see
Appendix B.
To use a 3D Transformation:
1. Press 8 on your keyboard or click the Video Effects Tool button on the
Timeline Toolbar.
2. Add a blank effect to the Timeline using the steps in the section “Adding an
Effect to the Timeline” on page 210.
3. Click the Enable 3D Effects button on the Video Effects Tool.
4. Check the Resize checkbox in the Effects tab.
You cannot use any of the transformations unless the Resize effect is
checked.
