  • PAn and scan 16:9 footage

    Posted by Tj Sochor on May 23, 2005 at 9:03 pm

    When I label footage as “animorphic”, FCP assumes that I want to display it as letterbox – but really I want to stretch it out to cut off the left and right….
    In avid we use a “Pan and Scan” effect. Is there a FCP equivilant?
    or is there another work around?

    motion tab. scale. if you want to do real pan and scan there’s also the center setting.

    try this in after effects, it’s a bit more smooth and the options are at your fingertips. final cut will most likely make it look like the pan and scans we all hate from cable tv. plus the render que is more customizable. if not good luck in final cut and with your proj…peace

    i agree, or only change the pan on edits. that’s what i’ve always done. as for render queues, these setting are of course completely real time in fcp.
