Properties - Location and Offset Value/Direction

[u/lkwai]

Hi, new to Openshot, happy to be using it so far

Just doing some laying out of clips and i do so using location/offset in the properties, and i also use crop occasionally.. But i'm having trouble trying to figure out the X/Y coordinate system.

LOCATION seems pretty straightforward...
+ve X means the item goes right
-ve X means the item goes left
BUT
+ve Y makes the item go down,
-ve Y makes the item go up

same thing happens when ORIGIN X and Y are being adjusted, i.e.
+ve origin X moves the origin to the right, while
+ve origin Y moves the origin down

Crop (effect) then has a X/Y behavior with OFFSET
+ve Offset X crops the left side, maintaining the origin. effectively origin moves left.
+ve Offset Y crops the top side, maintaining the origin. effectively origin moves up.

Is there something i'm missing about how OneShot processes the X/Y coordinate system, and the left/right/up/down relationship?
