eframing Shots
TIP Another way to copy and paste effects is to use adjustment clips from the
Effects Library. Place an adjustment clip above clips on a new track on the
timeline, add an effect to the adjustment clip, and then re-use it over any other
clips you want. Any effect on the Adjustment clip is applied to all clips below it
in the timeline
Using Onscreen Controls
You can apply common transform operations such as position, scale, and rotation using
onscreen controls in the viewer, rather than dragging virtual sliders in the Inspector.
Let’s reframe a shot by resizing it in the viewer.
1 Press Shift-down arrow to go to the last red marker on the 05_BAY_AREA LIGHTS clip.
This is the last clip before your credits, so to indicate that you are bringing this trailer to
a close, let’s simulate the camera pulling back and away from the scene. First, you’ll
use the onscreen control to resize the clip a bit larger.
2 In the timeline, select the first half of the 05 BAY AREA LIGHTS clip, and move the
playhead over it to see the clip in the viewer.
3 In the lower-left corner of the viewer, click the timeline viewer drop down menu, and
choose Transform.
A bounding rectangle appears in the viewer to show the size and position of the frame.
