  How to scale vertically… numerically

  Posted by Joseph Wilkins on April 11, 2007 at 11:13 pm

  I need to fix all my clips to 100% of the original footage width, but 80% of the height.

  I can hold down the shift key and eyeball it, but surely there is a control to scale the one proportion numercially in the keyframe editor without scaling the width…

  I cannot do it!

  Scaling in one axis is called distorting. Dial the value in the distort function. Try -20.

  All the best,

  Just asking. Is your footage animorphic 16:9 and you want to letterbox it?
