You can edit the Quadmap visually in the Camera view.
- In the Timeline view, click the Add Layer button and select Quadmap.
- Connect the drawing you want to deformto the Quadmap.
- In the Tools toolbar, disable the Animate mode to change the value for the Quadmap over the entire duration of the element.
- In the Timeline view, click on the Quadmap layer to select it.
- From the top menu, select View > Show > Control or pressShift + 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.
