    Posted by Jimy Bleu on September 25, 2006 at 12:49 pm

    Is there any way to lower or raise the size of a clip in a FCP project, rather than wireframe zooming?……….for instance, with a picture file, you can re-size the file in the photo editor.

    I have a few clips that were shot way too wide & too close. I need to somehow re-size them. If I use the motion/wireframe on them to zoom them in smaller, they violate the ‘title safe’ area.

    Thanx

    There’s no way to make a shot which is too tight to loosen up. if you push it back there’s no video to fill the screen around it. You can push into a clip, but you can’t pull out. If you expand the video more than about 110% (pushing in on a shot which is too wide), it will pixelate pretty badly.

    I’d suggest a reshoot would solve your problems.
