Screen replacement
Insert any video or image into a phone screen, laptop, or monitor that's in your footage. Drag the four corners to match the screen's perspective exactly.
Corner Pin
Faux perspective,full control.
Change video, image, sticker, and text layers to match the angle of any flat surface. KineMaster's Corner Pin tool lets you move each of a layer's four corners independently. Stretch and skew video clips, images, stickers, and more.
What it does
Four-corner independent transform
The Transform tool preserves the original proportions of a layer. Corner Pin breaks that constraint: each of the four corner handles can be dragged to any position independently, creating perspective, distorting, or skewing the layer.
Transform
Keeps layer proportional. All corners move together.
Corner Pin
Each corner moves independently. Any shape possible.
- Independent control of all four corners
- Works on video, image, text, and sticker layers
- Perspective changes and skewing
- Keyframeable for animated surface tracking
- Use cases: screen replacement · perspective text & graphics · product mockups

Use cases
Three ways creators use Corner Pin
From screen replacements to perspective text and product mockups — one tool, precise fit every time.
Text & graphics in perspective
Make titles and graphic elements appear to recede into the distance or lie flat on a surface by changing their corners to match the scene's perspective.
Product mockups
Place a design, photo, or video onto a product surface (book cover, billboard, box) with correct perspective for a professional-looking mockup.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about Corner Pin layer support, keyframe animation, and how it differs from the Transform tool.
What types of layers support Corner Pin?
Corner Pin can be used with videos, images, text, and sticker layers.
Can I animate Corner Pin changes?
Yes! Corner Pin parameters are keyframeable. Use the Keyframe tool to animate each corner's position for surface-tracking effects.
Is Corner Pin non-destructive?
Yes. Corner Pin is applied on top of the original layer and can be removed at any time.
What is the difference between Corner Pin and the Transform tool?
Transform keeps the layer proportional. Corner Pin allows each corner to be moved independently, enabling perspective distortion and skewing.
