Adjusting screen field size and position

In addition to direct entry of size and position in the Media Pool these parameters can also very conveniently be entered graphically.

Open the screen window and move the Locator to a position where an image or a video is to be output on the screen field to be adjusted.

For the adjustment to become visible on the screen the track must be linked up with the screen field you want to change. Additionally, the box next to Keyframes relative to screen field must be checked.

In the Media Pool click on the plus sign in front of category Screens and select the corresponding screen following which the screen fields will appear on the right.
Right-click the required screen field, select Position + Size and a dialog will appear.
Now change the screen field as desired, which is displayed by a pink frame. Grab one of the small squares in the corners with the mouse and drag it. Grabbing the square in the centre allows you to shift the whole screen field. As an alternative, you can also enter numerical values. The modifications will immediately become visible in the screen window.
Finally, click on OK.

In the editing window the screen is represented by the white field. If you change the screen field size, by entering values from 0 to 1000 %, the display is adjusted dynamically.
The reference point of both the screen field and the screen is the centre. The values are entered as a percentage of the screen height or width, respectively.
If the position of the screen field is not visible in the screen window, check whether the object you are using for the adjustment is actually located on the track which is output on the corresponding screen field.
Screen fields can also be positioned with pixel accuracy. For this purpose columns Left and Bottom were included in the Media Pool. Alternatively, it is also possible to enter the position in the Properties Table after highlighting the screen field in the Media Pool. The reference point for pixel entries is the bottom left corner.
