I'm currently working on adding a scaled down and rotated video superimposed over the video on the main track.
When you initiate an effect or switch back to it, VP goes to clip preview. While on that screen, it has up the "interactive" version of changing the settings (click and drag to reposition, click and drag the dots to rotate, etc). But when you switch to sequence view to see how it lines up with your main video, it goes away. You can change it using the values still, but that interactive ability would be really useful when you can see it over the main video. Is this just how it works, or am I missing something?
Also, this isn't too big of a deal, but I've been encountering a weird issue when several effects have been applied and I switch back and forth between them. To illustrate: I switch from rotate back to position and then click on the clip to drag it to a new position. The effects selection switches back to rotate. Most times I can switch back to position again and it will stick that time. Like I said, not too big a deal but wondering if this is a common experience.
