Video Pan/Crop features

I am wondering if you can use the video pan crop window to move objects such as backgrounds and text around the X and Y axis, i have found that you can only use the 360 rotation tool and i can not find anything that would let me move the objects around a fixed point on the X and Y axis, is this even possible?

Try moving and resizing the "F" window. If this doesn't give you the results you desire, try Track Motion. If neither of these do, try the plug-in pac from www.debugmode.com

I'm not quite sure what you mean... you can slide the "F" in the window in any direction, this should do what you want.

Your last sentence suggests that you want to rotate around something other than the center... in that case, drag the tiny circle at the center of the "F" to where you want... that represents the "center of rotation".

Sorry for being unclear but it is hard to explain. What i am trying to do is twist and turn the object horizontally and vertically instead of just the 360 degree face turn

Ahh, sounds like you want to rotate the picture in 3D space? If so, follow the link jetdv posted, download the plugin pac, and use the "PLuginPac 3D LE" Fx to do this.

I understand what your saying bud, I'm having the same prob myself, I have downloaded the pluginpac 3d, but it's not quite doing / acting in the way i want it to
