Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Scale height and width differently

  • Scale height and width differently

    Posted by Timo Millitz on June 16, 2011 at 4:17 pm

    I’m right into moving from PC Adobe Premiere to Apple Final Cut. In Premiere you can easily scale a image/video with different values for height en width. Its seems the makers of Final Cut forgot to put this function in it, cause in the motion tab I only can give one value and the aspect ration keeps the same… Is it or am I wrong? So for example how do I clear this problem so that I can scale the image/video to exactly 100% height and 70% width.

    Hi
    In the Distort setting lower down the Motion tab.

    Thanks for the quick answer. But how does this Aspect Ration works? Value 0 = 100%. So what would be a width of 70%?

    If you make sure:

    Image + Wireframe is turned on in the canvas
    Select the clip in the timeline

    you will be able to scale the clip disproportionately by hand when you hold SHIFT and drag the corners of the image in the canvas.
