V21 Video media generators - does anyone use them?

Hi all,

I am using the media generator to create a box to go around an insert on my main video.

Does anyone actually use this tool?

I ask because I am having a devil of a time trying to grab the very little handles on my 4K screen.

There must be a better way or am I missing something so simple?

Here is me attempting to create the box I want. I edited its length to save others the pain of watching it.

A hand does show on the screen when working with it but I must have turned it off for the recording. Is there a way to make it an arrow?

@wilco-n I've used this in the past and I do agree, the fixed size of the FX UI is a problem, even on my 1920x1080 monitor. I'm afraid you are stuck with the hand for manipulating the gradient control points. You could try the Windows key/+ key combination to magnify the screen then use the mouse to move to the UI. The control points then become easier to move. When you've finished, use the Windows key/Esc key combination to get back to normal view. Not a solution I agree, but a suitable workaround.
