So I've been using PD for many years, I recently upgraded from PD18 to PD20, and let's just say I'm less than impressed.

I want to resize my video/image. When I click on a video in the timeline, it highlights that video/image that I clicked in the Preview Window; displaying eight nodes for me to quickly resize and reshape my video with.

Let's say I want to quickly resize a webcam video and place it in the top left corner for my gaming video, I used to be able to simply click and hold the bottom right node, and instantly resize the video to fit the top left as I saw fit. Now, in PD20, if I want to do that, it'll resize the video inward towards the center; despite me dragging from a corner node, I don't know why the resize feature in the preview window is now anchored to the center of the element, but it is, and it makes quick and easy resizing a complete nightmare; as I have well over fifty videos and images to resize per video.

I've tried to move the anchor around in the PiP Designer, but I need to be able to freely resize on the go; no anchors, and not worry about finicking with the anchor feature on EVERY SINGLE VIDEO/IMAGE, because in that case it'd take me days to produce a video with the amount of precise edits that I need to do.

How do I freely resize a video without being restrained by the anchor feature?

(As you can see in the attached image, I'm dragging from a corner node, yet it's resizing inward towards the centre, which I do not want. This was never an issue in PD18 and all the versions prior.)
So as a YouTube content creator a big thing that I like to use is sound effects, and many sound effects are one second or less, and these clips cannot be used on PowerDirector. To me this needs to change as it infuriates the hell out of me, is there any way to use clips less than one second? Because I had so many I wanted to use for my videos and... well, I can't. frown
