How do you stretch or compress a clip on final cut pro

[Chris Borjis]

double click the clip, viewer, motion tab, the top one is resize i think.

I just wanted to clarify that I do not mean resizing the video clip. I mean like making the picture look longer or wider when stretched, kind of like stretching a picture if you know what I’m saying.

Below “Resize” on the motion tab is “distort”. Is that what you’re talking about?

Search for Time Remap in the manual.

The answer is in your FCP manual. Look up “motion tab”.

Highlight your clip in the timeline, choose image+wireframe in the canvas and then keep the shift button down and drag the edges of your canvas image.
