The Convert To Profile command (Edit > Convert To Profile) also converts all pixel edits to the document’s color
space. However, using the Assign Profile command (Edit > Assign Profile) does not convert the pixel edits to a video
layer. Use the Assign Profile command with care, especially when you’ve painted on or edited video frames. If the
video layer has a color profile, applying the Assign Profile command to the document may cause a color space
mismatch between the pixel edits and the imported frames.
Some combinations of video footage and document color spaces require color conversion:
• A grayscale movie in an RGB, CMYK, or Lab mode document requires color conversion.
• Using 8- or 16-bpc footage in a 32-bpc document requires color conversion.

2 Do any of the following:
• Choose Edit > Free Transform and then use the handles in the document window to transform the video.
• Choose Edit > Transform and then choose a specific transformation from the submenu.
