    Posted by Ben Bogart on March 2, 2010 at 3:42 pm

    Is there a way to rotate a clip an arbitrary amount in FCP7. The camera got bumped early in the concert I’m working on and so the entire recording is angled about 20 degrees to the right. I’ve only been able to figure out how to rotate 90 or 180 degrees, but not an arbitrary amount.

    Any ideas on how to correct this.

    Thanks.

    Two ways:

    Double click on the clip in the timeline to activate it in the Viewer, then click on the motion tab and change the rotation there.

    Or..

    On the top center of the Canvas, the far right drop down (looks like a square), change that to Image + Wireframe and change the rotation position by dragging the video in the Canvas.

    You’ll probably also need to adjust the scale a little to make the video fill the frame completely again.

    Double click on the clip in the timeline. In the Viewer under the Motion tab you will see a Rotation option. You can rotate it any degree you want.
    Hope this helps and best of luck.
