Resizing and transform in x
Hi X-Men,
I am getting more and more comfortable with working in X, even though I still miss some major feature, the
New invention in X make up for it and hopefully they will still come in the future.
One thing though, I’d really need:
If I transform a video on the TL in size, I do not get any info in numbers in terms of percent of original size, same for distort (which is important when I e.g. Bring in DV PAL WideScreen Anamorphic footage to stretch out right way).
Is there a place in X to get hat info? Or did I oversee a window that would show me those numbers?Thanx.

I’m not at my computer, but isn’t there a preference option for the inspector to display either pixels or percentage?
On the other hand, there are the spatial conform settings in the inspector as well. Does one of those option just “do it right” for you?

I’m not in the studio right now, but I def will check it out. Yes, percentage for scale and aspect ration for distort would be perfect.
By the way, is there a way in X, how you could click on DV anamorphic footage like on the browser of 7, you when you bring it n the TL it stretches it out the right way?Thanx.

Spatial conform should do it, select the clip(s) and choose the appropriate option. There’s fit/fill or stretch/crop or similar, don’t recall exactly. I would think it does what you’re wanting, though I haven’t tested with DV Anamorphic myself.

Hi David,

Select the clips in the Event Browser and in the INFO tab in the Inspector, set the Anamorphic Override to Widescreen. This option is in the SETTINGS view

There is a problem in X that I already sent a LOT of feedback for, and I consider it a bug:
if you adjust the position of a clip in the viewer, it updates in the inspector and vice versa.
If you adjust the scale of a clip in the inspector, it updates in the viewer.
But if you adjust the scale in the viewer with the transform tools, it DOES NOT update in the inspector.I consider it a bug, because if you do a scale change, and go to other clips, if you go back you cannot check if the clip is in its original size.

That’s really bad!!!!
It’s exactly those things that make it FCX and not FCPX yet.
Thanx for heads up!Sascha Engel

Well, don’t be so quick to judge.
FCPX has a some problems, indeed. It had a bad launch, it had a lot of missing features, and it still has some of those. (I have my own bullet point list with 50 wishes and criticisms). FCPX having to get to 10.0.6, more then a year after launch, to get copy and paste attributes or only exporting a range of the timeline… painful. So I get where you are coming from.
But good old FCP also had it’s fair share of bugs. Apple dared to do what no other NLE maker did: completely rethink their NLE.
It’s been a bumpy road, but an interesting one. And after using it for more then a year, earning all my money and all the money the company I work for earned, I wouldn’t call it ‘not a professional piece of software’.

I’m curious now: please, send me this 50 points list!
