Steps
1Resize the clip
Drag either Scale slider under Position / Size / Flip. Maintain aspect ratio is checked by default, so both move together and the clip keeps its proportions.

2Move the clip
Drag the clip in the preview for rough placement. Or type into Position X and Y when two clips have to line up with each other.

3Rotate the clip
Drag the Rotation dial for a quick tilt. Or type a number when you need to straighten something precisely, like a horizon.

4Flip the clip
Click Horizontal to swap left and right, or Vertical to turn the clip upside down.

We tested these steps in PowerDirector 365 version 23.4 on Windows.
