Adjust the size, speed, and position of a clip by double-clicking the clip in the timeline. In the clip editor, navigate to Transform, Crop, or Speed tabs to make your adjustments.


Scale slider in the clip editor.

Adjust the clip's size by modifying the Scale value. Use the scroll bar or manually input a size.

Alternatively, manually drag the corners of a clip to resize the scale.

 

The position for the clip.

Adjust the position of the clip by inputting new X and Y coordinates or manually repositioning the clip in the preview window — the same way you would to adjust the scale.

 

The flip and rotate options for the clip.

Use the Rotate and Flip tools to adjust the clip. Rotating turns the clip 90 degrees, and flipping inverts the position.

 

Crop the clip by adjusting the slider on the Crop tab or resizing it from the preview window.

Select the Crop tab, then adjust the horizontal and vertical scroll bars or manually resize in the preview window. 

 

The fit tool for the clip in the clips editor

Use the Fit tools in the Transform tab to reposition as needed.

 

The add blurred background option in the clip editor.

If your cropped clip has black bars on the sides, you can enable the Blurred background feature to place a blurred copy behind your clip, filling the frame. 

 

The speed tab in the clip editor.

Select the Speed tab for the following options:

  • Speed value: Increase the value (1x to 10x) to speed up the clip, or decrease the value (-1x to -10x) to slow the clip, in whole-number increments.
  • Range: The two icons on the scroll bar indicate when during the video the speed modification occurs. Adjust to apply to a specific point in the video.
  • New duration: The original time is the clip's duration without speed modification. The new length indicates the updated duration after speed modification. The higher the speed, the shorter the new clip length. The lower the speed, the longer the new clip length.
  • Ease in/out: Enable this feature to apply a 1-second gradual speed modification.
