Various 3D effect handle buttons appear along the right side of the Effect Editor, depending upon the type of 3D effect that you apply to the sequence. The 3D PIP effect displays all the buttons, allowing you the greatest degree of manipulation. You determine the direction and type of manipulation performed in the Effect Preview monitor by selecting one of the image manipulation buttons on the Effect Editor.
