Figure 142
Each Overlay channel has its own Position button and settings. Click the neighboring Configure
button (gear) to open the Overlay Position panel (Figure 142) for a specific channel.
At the top of this panel are two buttons – Position and Size , respectively. Click and drag on
Position to relocate the source vertically or horizontally within the output frame. You can view
the result of your modifications on
Program Output , but if you do this during a live production
you will likely set up the overlay on Preview instead, to hide your tinkering from the viewing
audience. Notice that by dragging left or right on either of the two numeric gadgets below, you
can adjust the position on a single axis. You can also constrain the action to one axis by holding
down the Ctrl key before dragging.
Hint: Hint: If you click a numeric field (or right-click it), you can type a value into the gadget using
the keyboard – press Enter to complete the editing action, or Esc to cancel it).
In similar fashion, dragging the cursor on the Size button (magnifying glass) affects the scale of
the overlay. When the nearby lock button is enabled, dragging in any direction affects size
equally on both axes. Otherwise, dragging vertically changes the height of the overlay, and
dragging horizontally affects its width.
