  • Scale problem dragging quicktime from the project window to the timeline

    I’m having a scale problem when I’m dragging a quicktime movie to the timline from the project window…it says it’s 100% but it’s not filling up the composition window. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

    You can make any video file constrain itself to fit the entire comp window by making sure the video is selected in the timeline and hitting ctrl+alt+f. However, it will not keep the current aspect ratio (dimensions in relation to eachother) the same so your footage will most likely look skewed.

    If you want to make a video file larger but don’t want to lose it’s aspect ratio, scale up past 100% under the transform>scale twirldown menu. Just remember that whenever you scale up past 100% after effects is interpolating the extra information… i.e. a loss in quality from the original footage.

    peace,
