Version 8.0 About 2D-DPM Edge Pinning Edge Pinning is the 2D version of Corner Pinning and is designed to work in conjunction with cropping. Each time Edge Pinning is turned on, the pinned edges will be adjusted to match the current 2D-DPM crop settings. After pinning the edges of an image you can crop it to select the exact portion of the source video to display or, conversely, you can crop the image and then pin the edges by stretching the image to the target location.
About 2D-DPM Edge Pinning Crop enables/disables and crop edge parameter changes are reflected across 2DPM menu tabs. For example, if crops are enabled in the Trans- form, Keyers 2DPM menu tab and the top crop edge parameter was changed, the effect would be mirrored in the Pinning, 2DPM menu tab and vice versa.
