Using the mouse
Click and drag to move the item. Click and drag the round, red and white handles to resize an image or
video source (for text overlays, just use the padding settings). Using this method you can make quick
changes that are in increments of approximately 5% of the width or height of your layout area. For more
refined movements, press the Ctrl key on your keyboard while dragging the item with the mouse.
Using the keyboard
Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the item up, down, left or right in the layout. Changes are in
increments of approximately 5% of the height or width of the layout area. Press the Ctrl key while using
the arrow keys to make more refined movements. To change the size of an image or video source, press
the Shift key while using the arrow keys (for text overlays, just use the padding settings). Press both Ctrl
and Shift for fine-grained size control.
Using percents
Specify a whole number, followed by a percent sign (e.g. 4%) in any of the manual positioning fields. See
Resize and position items using percents or pixels
for more information.
