Thanks Alex, I’ll have to try this when I get home later today. This may solve my problem. I still feel very limited in customizing the viewing space. I’m so used to “Event Pan/Crop” feature in Sony Vegas. It was something so simple and made it seem like a no-brainer for every editor to have… but I guess not. If any of you guys were familiar with this feature that Vegas has you’d probably have a better understanding of why im struggling. It was so easy to use and very customizable. Was hoping FCP had something like this

That link didn’t really help my problem. I did download the plugin but it didnt stretch my clip to fit the full length of the viewing space. There is still a black border on the left and right side of the clip due to it being 4:3 in a 16:9 project format. All I need to know is an easy way to get the clip to stretch to all four corners of the viewing space. Am I making any sense? I know my editing terminology isn’t too sharp. I’m just so used to Sony Vegas that the Pan/Crop window made doing this a complete breeze. In FCP im completely dumbfounded.

Ahhh thanks Kevin that’s perfect. I believe adjustment layers are exactly what im looking for! Also your first response makes much more sense to me knowing you were talking about keyframes, which at the time I had no clue of their use or existance. Again my only knowledge comes from self teaching myself Sony Vegas. Everything within that program seems much more simplified yet you can’t go too far outside of the box in the creativity department. Your info has definitely put me a step forward in the right direction. Many thanks!

Thank you for your response Kevin. Your terminology seems to be over my head when it comes to my knowledge of Adobe products. I believe what I may be talking about is more along the lines of setting keyframes? I could be wrong. I’m told that effects on a layer apply for it’s entire duration and that’s what I want to change. I want to be able to determine when an effect begins and ends on my imported clip to Adobe AE. I hear that what I may be asking the is basics of splitting layers and basics of using keyframes? Would the be what I may be looking for? Adobe software is unlike anything i’ve used. I used some photoshop a few years back in highschool and I barely remember a thing.
