# Adjusting the Global Axis of SMPTE Wipes

After adding a wipe to the timeline, you can modify its position, rotation, scaling, and softness in its quick menu.

The global axis gives you control over all masks that are created for any given SMPTE wipe. If you create a wipe that requires two separate masks, you can adjust them both simultaneously in the Player.

To adjust a wipe's global axis values from the Wipe quick menu:

1. Select the wipe icon on the timeline and display its quick menu.
2. Select an option from the Global Axis box.

   Select: | To adjust:
   --- | ---
   Position | The position of the SMPTE wipe.
   Motion | The rotation of the SMPTE wipe.
   Softness | The edge softness of the SMPTE wipe.
   Options | The scaling and blending options of the SMPTE wipe.
