Preview screen zoom out, in order to manipulate Transform controls better

Open leodf1 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Describe the new feature: No way to drag the Transform edges/corners past the size of the Preview screen

Describe the solution you'd like: Zoom out on Preview screen, in order to easily extend the clip with the Transform controls

Describe alternatives you have considered: The workaround currently is to drag the Transform corner as far as possible, then drag the entire clip further down in order to grab the Transform edge again, and continue in this manner until you have scale the clip as desired.

Screenshots: (Optional) If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your request.

When scaling up a clip with the Transform onscreen control, you are not able to properly scale past the edge of the Preview screen.

The only option is to drag the clip down the screen to reveal the Transform corner again, to repeat the action.

The way this works in other Editors, is the Preview screen can be zoomed out far enough to have ample workspace to scale the clip as required.

Ok, on the Trello you linked, I found you can comfortably zoom the Preview window with the mouse wheel.

Can't believe I didn't think of trying this. [Undocumented of course]

For me, this is a non-issue now. [Aside from documenting it properly]
