Video deluxe 2024 - Position multiple objects at once

Jonas-F wrote on 12/3/2023, 8:12 AM

In previous versions you could select multiple objects and position them all at once. When selecting multiple objects in the 2024 version and adjust the position, it will only move the primarily selected object. So if I wish to position 30 objects to the same position position I know have to do each and every single one of them individually?
I really hope there is still a way, otherwise this might be the dumbest change ever.

Also getting rid of the buttons that move the object by one pixel at a time and the now featured anchor point just make things unneccessarily complicated.. What's the point of the 8 different dragging points when they now all do the same?

Hi,

Yes, several things have changed with the new setup.

It's not complicated when you know how. Beside each of the 6 boxes to change size and position, there is either a px or %. Toggle them. With px, you can change size, move by 1 pixel. Use the mouse wheel, or hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse, or type in the values.

The anchor sets the origin and any of the other parameters, size and rotation, will use the anchor point as the origin.

Yes, this changed. Oversight or by design, I don't know.

As for all effects, use copy effects to the clipboard (shortcut is the minus key - on the top row of the keyboard), select one or more effects from the list of applied effects, select the destination objects, paste (shortcut Shift + - this is hold down shift, press - on the top row of your keyboard. Or use, the right click and select these from the menus.

Hi John, Al

Hover the mouse pointer over any of the SPR options and scroll the mouse wheel. This also works for effects sliders as well.

For quicker movements place the pointer over any box, left click drag moving the mouse up/down.
