    Auto-center media in input view

    by jasonbeyers » Sun Oct 11, 2020 12:27 am

    The alignment options for the input view are very handy, such as "Entire media", "Left", or "Right", when right-clicking on the media within the input view.

    It would be great if there as an extra option: "Center". This would make it much faster to auto-center media that has odd dimensions, to avoid going through the math in the Surfaces tab.

    I have a piece of paper on my desk with input position specs for converting from 16:9 media to square (and vice versa) with proper centering, along with some other common conversions. An auto-center option would make this unnecessary :)

    Thanks for your consideration!

    Okay, that one is implemented. Now you'll have two more entries: "Center" and "Entire Media (Preserve Ratio)"
    It will be in 4.1. Thanks for the suggestion !

    Thanks so much for adding this in the latest version! The centering option is working great, and is already saving time.
