Use the Viewer to modify the filter and then watch the results in the Canvas.

Once the filter has been applied to the clip, first check the invert box.

Now click on the plus symbol next to the word Center in your filter tab.

Then move over to the Canvas and click where you want the center to be.

Now resize the box using the Horizontal and Vertical Scales. You can do this three different ways: by actually typing in the numbers, or by using the slider, or by clicking on the triangles.

Now that you have the section removed, go to the timeline, select the clip with a single click, and copy it. You can copy by using control click or from the EDIT:COPY menu item or by using Apple C. Now physically grab this clip and move it up to the V2 in the timeline.

Put the playhead at the beginning of this clip and then choose paste. A new clip will now be in V1.
