Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Cropping video

  • Posted by Moira Allen on January 7, 2010 at 9:00 pm

    I am relatively new to FCP and need some help. Sometimes when I crop it works just fine – but other times not at all. I can’t figure out what I am doing differently. I select my clip in the timeline, open the motion tab and move the sliders. The values change but no “black bars” appear on the video in the canvas. Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

    Are you sure that you’re actually opening your clip in the viewer? You need to double-click or hit enter when its selected. If you single click, you wont be modifying the correct clip.

    Thanks a bunch Jeremy – I knew it was probably something very simple and it was. Your answer has saved me much frustration and I really appreciate it. Hope things go well in your world today.
