Free Transform in Video Preview Window
🕑 Added 2017-02-03 08:25:10 +0000 UTC Greetings! I've been working on some really cool stuff over the past 30 days (or so), and wanted to share a sneak preview to my patrons. =) Although it's been pretty tricky (programming wise), I now have a free transform prototype working. It allows the user to easily drag the position of the video on the screen, resize the video (with or without aspect ratio), and fully supports the various scale modes and gravity options. At some point I'll add in rotation and skew also (but I'm not sure how to intuitively add those yet)The basic flow is, a user selects a clip, right-clicks and chooses 'Transform', and the blue selection handles appear on that clip only (in the video preview window). The user can then move and resize the clip by just clicking and dragging the mouse.
This also supports animation (of course), and by transforming the clip in different locations (i.e. different playhead locations), it will automatically create keyframes, and animate between them.
I plan on making a new release very soon with this as the headline feature, so stay tuned! Thanks!
