1. Select a clip in the Final Cut Pro timeline.
2. Position the playhead over the clip in the timeline so that the clip’s video is displayed in
the viewer.

• Click the pop-up menu in the lower-left corner of the viewer and choose Transform
(or press Shift-T).
• Control-click in the viewer and choose Transform.
The Transform onscreen controls appear in the viewer.
4. Adjust the Transform effect using the onscreen controls:
• Overscan button in the upper-right corner of the viewer: Click to reveal the overscan
areas (areas of a clip that extend beyond the edges of the viewer).
• Blue handles at each corner: Drag these to adjust the image’s size while maintaining
its current aspect ratio.
• Blue handles in the middle of each side: Drag these to independently adjust the
vertical and horizontal image size, changing the aspect ratio of the image.
Note: These controls aren’t available in the Video inspector.
• White circle in the center: Shows the rotation anchor point. Drag anywhere inside the
image to adjust the image’s position.
• Blue handle extending from the center circle: Drag this to rotate the image.
Tip: For finer precision when rotating the image, drag the rotation handle farther
away from the anchor point in the center.
