Can't move or resize "Pan/Crop" Window.

Hi all, bit of a daft one this. I was moving the "Pan/Crop" window about and somehow managed to anchor it between the Preview window and the Project Media/VideoFX etc window (it's now where the trimmer window sits) and I can't move it back to being a seperate window (tried click/drag but it won't move). Can someone please let me know how I can move it back?

Many Thanks.................................IanH

You grab the vertical dots on the upper left of that window, and you drag it out.

I'm on a works PC at the moment so can't try your fix but will it do the follwing - (sorry about the google images)

Currently the Pan/Crop screen is set in the middle (like the non-3D image in this pic) of the top section.

and I want to remove it from there so it's a seperate "detached" window like this one

Will pulling those vertical dots make this happen or will it only enlarge the Pan/Crop screen while keeping it locked to the top area?

Many Thanks......................................IanH

Those vertical dots are called the Gripper -- and that's exactly what it's for.

Drag on them and you'll undock the Pan/Crop window.

Just be careful where you drag it to. Version 11 is pretty aggressive about redocking it if you get to close to a "drop zone".

I agree with Steve. I also just learned that you can click/drag while holding CTRL so that the window doesn't dock (thanks to the most recent Sony Newsletter for that tip!)

Thanks everyone, dragging on the dots worked and I've got it back how I wanted now, Many Thanks!
