Do you mean adjusting the region in time, or in position?

In time. I really want to be able to move a layer from 00:05:00 to 00:07:00 with a slider. Not sure if it would be possible, that's why I am asking :)

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-10-04)

I'm trying to create a mogrt file that has the option of moving a layer using a control (instead of just moving it on the timeline).

Is there a way to create a slider control for example that allows to adjust some kind of "offset"?
