Hey folks,

I’m trying to stretch out a movie clip that has 3D properties on one side with the Free Transform tool, but currently every time I use it, it scales the entire clip on all sides.

I could have sworn that I was able to do this in the past by holding down command (Ctrl) or Alt on the keyboard while dragging a node in the desired direction. I checked to see if all scaling links weren’t broken and changing the registration point (which it won’t allow me to do), but to no avail.

Is there a way to make this happen? Thanks in advance!
