Bug 359841

(1) The "Crop, Scale and Positon" effect doesn't allow you to actually adjust the clip's position like Pan and Zoom does. I might suggest removing the "Positon" from the title and change it to "Crop, Scale and Tilt", since those are the names of the parameters you can modify.

(2) A few iterations ago, the Crop Scale and Position effect titled the "Crop" parameters as just that... crop. Crop Left, Crop Right, etc. Recently, they've been changed to "Clip". Doesn't that seem a little misleading? After all, clipping is more like cutting the clip in the timline itself, and it's also used to define all the different types of media in the project. I'd suggest considering to change them back to "Crop..." instead of "Clip...". It's not a big deal, but it might their function a little more uniform with the effect title.

(3) Similarly, "Pan" is the industry term of moving the camera position, not the subject. But, in this case, Pan doesn't actually move the entire monitor positon, but a single clip. Because this is affecting a clip, I'd suggest considering to change it to something like "Adjust Position and Zoom". The effect's parameters have more to do with the position than the Crop, Scale and Position effect, anyways: it actuall give you control to adjust the position, and even align the position to various parts of the monitor.

Reproducible: Always
