The freeform shaped Vidi window can be created using the freeform cutting mode. Within this mode, the scissors-nib needs to be positioned firstly on the border location of the desired freeform area. This positioning is performed by mouse drag of the scissors-nib, as described for all other modes.
Right-mouse dragging of the opened scissors-nib draws a curve from the beginning to the actual drag position. After finishing dragging – releasing the right mouse button, the drawn curve closes automatically and the shape surrounded by the curve becomes semi-transparently magnified. Both buttons – the Acknowledge and Cancel buttons are shown at positions as described for all other cutting modes.
