First stabilized, and now I want to crop
I’m an experienced and very long time FCP guy (since version FCP 1.2.1!!!!) trying to get up and running in Premiere ASAP…
In Premiere, I zoomed into a shot 300%, and then to try and help with the bumpy handheld I used motion tab and adjusted position throughout the shot, then I added Warp Stabilizer, keeping the image in the upper left corner of the screen. Now I would like to crop the resulting image so that I can add another layer of video underneath. What’s the best way to do this?
Thanks,

Start over. Warp stabilize and then zoom.

Thank you for your response.
Let’s leave off the Warp Stabilizer for now.What is most important in this situation is — I zoomed 300%, and then I used the Motion tab and Position keyframes to manually stabilize the image into the top left corner of the screen. After I’ve done all that, I want to crop that resulting stabilized image to 1/4 of the screen.
What’s the best way to do this?

Right click on the clip and Nest it. Apply the crop to this new nested clip.
For the record I would stablilize the shot with Warp Stablilizer with Scale and Crop and Additional Scale set to 300% before anything else.

The crop effect would be the most common approach. You could also insert the clip into a sequence that is sized to the desired dimensions, and then embed the sequence into your main timeline.
