Adjust the crop or position of your footage from the clip's settings - click on any clip to open up the settings menu in your right-side panel.

Underneath 'Scale' you'll see different options for reframing.

Fit / Fill

  • Make your clip fit or fill the canvas: a fast way to adjust the clip position and scale

Fit = clip will appear in full within the frame and will not crop the footage
Fill = clip size will cover the entire frame and may crop the footage

Move Position

  • Adjust the clip position: type in a number to move the clip in the canvas

X = negative # (left) or positive # (right)
Y = negative # (up) or positive # (down)

Ex: X = -10 and Y = 10 would move your video 10 spaces to the left and 10 spaces down, closer to the bottom left corner of your canvas.

Adjust Zoom

  • Scale your clip size: zoom in or out

Higher than 100% = cropped
Less than 100% = not cropped, background will be visible

Click on the checkmark to save your changes! Clicking on the X will discard your changes.
