Changing Rotation Anchor Point on Cropped Shape

[TLR_Pictures]

Hi everyone,

Continuing the discussion from How do you change the pivot point of rotation?:

I’ve run into a problem. I made a thin rectangle shape by cropping a bigger shape. Now, I want to rotate this thin rectangle, but it’s rotating from the middle. I need it to rotate from one of the ends instead. I’ve attached a picture to show you what I mean. Can anyone tell me how to change the rotation point in Shotcut?

@shotcut

Any arbitrary point is not available. However, you can make it use a corner using the Horizontal and Vertical fit option

I kindly plead you @shotcut to provide a detailed explanation on what you saying here.

@Josey_Parsons

Here’s a solution that I found
step 1: put 2 “size and position” filters on the clip you want to rotate.
step 2: move the 2nd “size and position” filter’s mid-point to the desired pivot point.
step 3: use the 1st “size and position” filter to move the clip to the desired position.
now use the 2nd filter to rotate your clip.

This one did not work for me.

Hi @TLR_Pictures

You should probably use Glaxnimate to draw and animate your rectangle.
Using the SP&R and Crop filters won’t work well for this particular case.

Thanks @MusicalBox to redo everything immediately I arrive in studio. Thanks. This is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks so much.
