Transforming in 2D

This section describes how to apply 2D transformations including translations, rotations, scales, and skews to elements using a number of Nuke nodes.

Using the 2D Transformation Overlay

Several of the nodes discussed in this section display a Viewer overlay for executing spatial transformations. This overlay is often a faster alternative to the properties panel. The figure below shows you how to use Nuke 2D transformation overlay.

• A) Drag to skew the frame (see Skewing Elements).

• B) Drag to scale the frame uniformly - simultaneously on x and y (see Scaling Elements).

• C) Drag to translate the frame (seeTranslating Elements).

Shift+drag to constrain the translation to x or y.

Ctrl/Cmd+drag to reposition the pivot point (the point that acts as the center to transformation operations).

• D) Drag to scale the frame on x.

• E) Drag to rotate the frame around the pivot point (see Rotating Elements). The transform overlay snaps to typical values. To prevent the snapping, press Shift while dragging.

• F) Drag to scale the frame on y.
