Where are my transform handles?

[Steve Zeeeee]

Sometimes without even trying, transform handles appear in

my program window.  But whenever I want them, it's always

a battle to make them show up.  I just want to scale and drag

the anchor point, etc.,  like in photoshop.  I have the transform

effect pasted onto my clip. but there are no handles, etc.

Highlight the clip in the Effect Controls

or

double click in the Project window.

[Steve Zeeeee]

no luck there

When you click on the word Motion in the Effect Controls panel, with the clip selected on the timeline, you don't see the blue lines appear?

Then try resetting your workspace, menu Window > Workspaces > Reset to Saved Layout.

Thank you Ann

Yes blue lines appear around the panel.  But nothing

seems to make the transform handles show around the

clip anywhere to change the clip.  Also when I try to move

the anchor point around, I dont see any anchor point.

The picture just moves as if I'm changing the position of the picture.

Reset = no change

Still no spell check here

Is that jpeg huge? If it is substantially larger than the sequence size you are working on, try making the zoom level on the program monitor smaller and see if the transform indicators appear.

Can't see when monitor set to fit:

Can see when monitor zoom level set to 25%:

Ha !! That's the ticket.  I was at tiny 25% and they dont show till 10% cuz it IS a huge picture that we are panning all around !!!

All handels have a fixed size

As for the scaling handles you need to hover over a corner or centre point.

Altho I dont get to drag my anchor point; must be entered manually. 

Instead I get a bezier handle when trying to drag the anchor point.
