6 In the Paste Attributes dialog, select the Scale Attribute Times and Crop checkboxes,
leaving all other options unselected, then click OK.
Now, you’ll make two further adjustments to the foreground clip, making it seem a bit
wider and allowing the clips in the background to be more visible.
7 Drag the Top and Bottom sliders in the Crop attribute to the right until they are set to 5.
Now, you’ll add a drop shadow to these three layers.
8 With the Motion tab of the foreground clip still open in the Viewer, select the checkbox
next to Drop Shadow to enable the attribute, then click the Drop Shadow disclosure
triangle. Using the appropriate controls, set the offset to 10, the angle to 135, the
softness to 23, and the opacity to 65.

the foreground clip is
now applied to the
background clips.
The resulting change
to the clip is displayed
in the Canvas.
Adjust these sliders so
the foreground clip is
slightly cropped.
Adjust the settings for
the Drop Shadow
attribute.
