Position effect doesn't do what I want

MovieBoss

Since the update, the Position effect moves the clip around the screen. I don't want it to do that, I want it to stay stationery like it did before. How do I do that?

try this guide first if still having issues let us know

the position values refer to % of the screen with 0 and 0 indication that the image is central.

If you set Horizontal to 50 then the image moves to the right so it is halved (i.e you see just the left hand half)

If you set it to -50 it moves left so it is 1/2 way off the screen and only the right hand half is visible.

It's the same with vertical positioning.

100 or -100 will place the image just out of the frame and it won't be seen

What version of VP is being used?

In the POSITION effect, click the two squiggly-lined icons, to show the graph.

If the line has a slope, instead of a straight horizontal line like this, right-click in the graph area and Delete All Keyframes.

Now program your effect.

In the coming weeks, when a new 14.x release arrives, install it and the issue may be resolved. For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months from purchase date. After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee is required in order to register the newest. Retain your old install file and registration info. If there's an issue, you can always revert.
