Dragging elsewhere will move the uncropped window. Right clicking a panel will reset its crop. Right clicking elsewhere will reset all crop. Touchpad
Some touchpads restrict pointer movement when keys are held. To avoid this, change your viewfinding keybinds to keys that don't produce text like ctrl and shift or switch from key holding to key toggling through the config menu.
Config options are under Interfaces.Crosshair
Pan/zoom and rotate use a crosshair interface. The pan/zoom interface displays zoom level followed by coordinates. The rotation interface shows the video's current angle alongside the angle that will be snapped to on click.
For drag rotations, treat the video as a wheel that rotates around the crosshair's center.Crop
In the crop interface, crop is represented by grey panels that extend from the edges of the video. These panels may be dragged to alter crop. Panels for uncropped sides are dragged via transparent handles at the video's edges.
Notes
youtube.com/watch?v=...).Videos are given a glow, similar to YouTube's "ambient mode" but confined within the video player. This can be turned off by unchecking Glow in the config menu.
If you clear your "Configure" keybind, right click a video, scroll down and click the "Configure Viewfinding" option.
