3-way Rotate¶
Description
This effect/filter rotates the clip in any of the three directions: X, Y, and Z. It allows to specify an offset for the image to be moved before rotation, effectively moving the center of rotation. The Scale parameter is applied irrespective of the rotation - it scales along the X and Y axis of the monitor.
Warning
This effect may move pixels outside of the project frame. This will crop the clip, meaning that a Transform effect after the 3-way Rotate effect will be applied to the cropped clip, and moving the clip will not show the pixels “rotated out” of the project frame.
Parameters
Parameter |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
Disable Repeat |
Switch |
When animating properties with keyframes, whether to repeat the animation after it reaches the last key frame. Default is on. |
Disable Mirror |
Switch |
When animating properties with keyframes and Disable repeat is off, whether the animation alternates between reverses and forwards for each repetition. Default is on. |
Invert Scale |
Switch |
Whether to invert the Scale X and Scale Y values. This is helpful to make animation interpolation sane because otherwise the scale values do not animate linearly. Default is on. |
Rotate X / Y / Z |
Integer |
Set the amount of rotation along the respective axes in degrees of rotation. |
Offset X / Y |
Integer |
Horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) offset |
Scale X / Y |
Integer |
Scale factor applied to the X and Y axis |
Background Color |
Picker |
Define the background color to be used when rotating reveals the background. Default is Alpha. |
Attention
The axes for rotation are different than for moving a clip. The latter uses the monitor plane: X = width or horizontal axis, Y = height or vertical axis. For rotation the plane is tilted by 90 degrees “into the monitor” and rotated 90 degrees clockwise around the vertical axis. This results in the X axis coming out of/going into the monitor, the Y axis being along the width of the monitor and the Z axis being along the height of the monitor. See image below.
