1. In Final Cut Pro, create a new project or open an existing project.
2. In the timeline, select one or more clips whose aspect ratio does not match the project
aspect ratio.
For example, you might have a horizontal or widescreen clip from an HD project that you
want to use in a vertical project for a social media app or website.
3. Choose Modify > Smart Conform.
Final Cut Pro analyzes the content of the selected clips and then intelligently reframes
each clip.
The examples below show the default “center crop” framing for a horizontal clip in a
vertical project, and then how the same clip is reframed using Smart Conform.
After the Smart Conform process is complete, you can make additional framing
adjustments by changing the Position parameter for the Transform effect. See Resize,
move, and rotate clips in Final Cut Pro.
