Scale it, Crop it, Spin it, quick, reframe it.

Please listen to this song as you read my tutorial.

So, I’ll be teaching you how to scale, crop, and rotate images on screen. I ran into the problem of filming vertically without realizing how it’d turn on in Adobe. I know it’s not a cool tutorial, but it’s practical and you might need it at some point!

1. Select clip that needs to rotated and cropped. The screen might look this at first.

2. Double click on the clip in the preview and the scaling measures will appear. If the frame is too big, like mine, drag the frame until you see the edge of the video frame. The clip will be outlined in white and have six squares for scaling.

3. Next scale clip to desired size.

4. Select the effect controls tab, next to the clip previewer. Under the Motion selections, double click on Rotation. Then input desired rotation.

5. The clip has now been rotated and should look this. Now to crop the clip.

6. Under Video Effects in the lower left hand corner, drop down the options and under Transform, select Crop. Then drag the Crop effect over the clip you wish to crop.

7. Under the Effect Control tab, Crop will appear at the bottom of the menu. Drop down the options (sorry! forgot to screenshot this!) and input the dimensions to be cropped.

Finished product should look like this!

I hope you guys found this helpful!
