Adjust built-in effects

Built-in effects overview

Final Cut Pro includes several video effects that are part of each Timeline clip and directly
accessible from the Viewer—all you need to do is select them and start making adjustments. You
can use these to:

Create a composited image from several clips

Reposition or reframe a clip by zooming in on it

Crop a clip to remove unwanted items, such as microphones or lighting equipment, that
accidentally appear in the video

Configure a Ken Burns effect to add life to your still images (and video clips as well)

You can use more than one of the built-in effects at the same time. For example, you can use
Transform to reduce the image’s size and position, Trim to remove a portion of the video, and
Distort to give the video a skewed look.

You can animate any of these effects so that they change as the clip plays. For example, you can
have an image shrink and move offscreen. To configure an animation, you change settings at
two or more points in the clip. When you play the clip, Final Cut Pro creates smooth animated
transitions between the points.

Resize, move, and rotate clips

The Transform built-in effect allows you to resize, move, and rotate an image. This effect is
commonly used on a clip placed over a primary storyline clip, which becomes the background
of the resized clip. It is also often used to zoom in on a clip, allowing you to reframe a shot
if needed.

Adjust the Transform effect
Controls in the Viewer and Video inspector allow you to adjust this effect. However, some
controls are found in only one or the other.
