How can I rotate an overlay image to a slight angle?

Post by myblackf150 »

Hey everyone, in Graphics Editing software like Photoshop you can rotate an image ever so slightly to the left or to the right.
I'm trying to super-impose a png of a head onto something and I would like to match the angle of the original head.
I searched this board and I saw a reply that mentioned using the rotate FX, but I believe that is not answer.
Would anyone happen to know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

there is no incremental rotate in VideoStudio but it can been done although it is a bit of a fiddle.

Click on the video in the timeline and a yellow box appears around the image in the preview screen - it has yellow boxes at the corner - but look very carefully at the corner boxes and you will see that they also have green dots in them - very carefully select a green dot and you will find you can move that corner any where , so pull it slightly round - then repeat for all four corners.

With the NewBlueFX Picture-in-Picture effect that comes with VideoStudio, you can rotate (x,y,z) an image to the nearest 10th of a degree.
