Quadmap
The Quadmap transformation layer lets you deform the shape of an element. For example, you can use it to create a drop-shadow effect on an element.
You can edit the Quadmap visually in the Camera view.
How to edit the Quadmap in the Camera view
| 1. | In the Timeline view, click the Add Layer  button and select Quadmap. |
| 2. | Do one of the following: |
| ‣ | Connect the Quadmap layer to the drawing layer that you want to deform. |
| 3. | In the Tools toolbar, disable the Animate mode to change the value for the Quadmap over the entire duration of the element. |
| 4. | In the Timeline view, click on the Quadmap layer to select it. |
| 5. | From the top menu, select View > Show > Control or press Shift + F11. |
The quadmap handles appear around the element in the window. There is also a pivot point at the centre of the quadmap frame that you can reposition.
| 6. | In the Camera view window, use the Transform tool to move the points on the quadmap. Shift + click to select multiple points. |
The value of each point on the quadmap can be changed gradually. To do this, use the Quadmap module Layer Properties to attach the points to function curves.
Only the X and Y values of each point in the quadmap can be changed.
