FCP-How do I rotate and crop a tilted clip?

Hi, I have a clip that was shot slightly off; it's a little crooked and needs to be straightened.... I can rotate it by 2 and it looks perfect, and then I can zoom in by 110 and get rid of excess. When I add the clip it is stretched and doesn't come out like it does in the slug.
How can I crop it like I want in the slug and add it to the timeline w/o it being stretched and wrong???
I'd even settle for masking the outside (like by putting a thick border all around) in order to alleviate the need to crop in but still mask the now crooked edges.
Any help would be really appreciated.

oop... Conform To Settings fixed that right up.........

  • Lightroom 3 Beta-Image Rotate and Crop Tool

    Good Morning Adobe,
    First of all let me say Lightroom 3 is fantastic! I do have a couple of suggestions that might make the image editing more efficient. I find that I use the image rotate and crop tools frequently and think that possibly locating these 2 features below the image in the tool bar with the loupe view/zoom fit/before and after will allow the user to edit the images more efficiantly.
    I believe that this is an incredible program and can't wait to see the finished product!
    I will offer more suggestions as they evolve.
    Thank you Adobe! You are the BEST!
    D.A.    

    Thank you...I discovered this answer online from another post last night and tried it.  (Since I didn't re-size the thumbnails, I wasn't aware that you could do this.)  After re-starting Lightroom and my computer, the crop issue corrected itself.  Thank you very much for your response.  It worked!

  • Running AppleScript with Adobe Acrobat to rotate and crop file.

    I constantly receive PDF files from a third party service provider that I always have to ROTATE and CROP in order to fit perfectly into labels that are perforated.
    The Label sheets are 8-up (2 x 4). If I print it as is, they DON'T fall where they supposed to. I can't get the trird party service provider to alter the way they supply the PDF files (they just not helpful). I thought it is still easier for me to do the neccesary adjustments.
    What I want to do is:
    (1) rotate the document (multi-page PDF) 180 deg
    (2) crop leading edge 3mm.
    (3) if possible, I want it to be able to watch a folder and do this automatically as PDFs are dropped into a defined folder (can be set permananetly) and save OVER the old file.
    I know AppleScript can do this (I think), but I don't have the expertise on AppleScript to write the commands.
    Can anyone help?
    I am using Mountain Lion & Acrobat 8.

    Thanks for the reply. I can still open the file in excel and I understand that I can redirect the file to open in another program. But it doesn't solve my problem that when I email the file to someone else it tries to open the file as a pdf (which it basically isn't) and gives the error message that its an unsupported file type. What I am really looking for is a way to stop it from saving an excel file as an adobe file even when I choose the file format as an excel workbook when I save it.

  • Just got fcp, how do mute the sound on the video clip so it does not come through the audio track?

    just got fcp, how do mute the sound on the video clip so it does not come through the audio track?
    Please help

    Don't edit the audio into the timeline. Or pull the audio level down to zero in the inspector or on the audio waveform in the timeline.

  • Rotating and cropping an image.

    I am taking a Photoshop for school and we are using CS5. I have CS6 and I'm stuck on my picture rotating back straight when I am trying to crop it.  I use the rotate view and rotate it 6degrees. As soon as I hit the crop button the picture goes straight. How can I keep my picture rotated to the 6degrees and crop it without the perspective crop tool?

    Rotate view only rotates...  the view; not the actual picture.  It's temporary and non-destructive. It's used to help move the canvas to a better angle for drawing brush strokes.
    You want to actually rotate the image or canvas.  Either Ctrl T for Free Transform and rotate by moving the cursor outside one of the corners and dragging.  Or Edit > Transform > Rotate

  • Ease of rotating and cropping images in CS6

    There is much I like about the new crop: Rotating the image instead of the box is SO much easier and the straighten option is a great time saver.
    But in one instance, I'm finding cropping in CS6 to be harder: Cropping images that are not correctly oriented in the first place.  Rotating an image 90-degrees was a snap in CS2: Alt-I/E/0.  The shortcut keys are gone in CS6, so using the rotation command is no longer quick.
    But I can do it in the crop box, right?  True -- but not easily.  The image is landscape, the crop box is portrait.  With the crop tool selected, holding the shift key down to get fixed-increment rotations doesn't work: Pressing the SHIFT key changes the cursor from rotation to the crop cursor.  To get the rotation, I have to start rotating the image and then press SHIFT to get 15-degree increments.  A few moments later, I have rotated the image into portrait orientation -- and the crop box is now centered on the image, but it is set to crop the middle.  I have to drag the handles out to get approximately what I want: The full image in the crop box.  (What I want is what I would get if I rotate the image with the Rotate command, then control-zero to fill the screen, and then select the crop tool.)
    We rotate a lot of images.  It's easy to do in CS2 and the two approaches I've found for CS6 are both awkward.  The new crop tool has replaced the dual arrows in older versions (to swap the horizontal and vertical sizes) with a rotation arrow.  I think you should restore the arrows (and their function) -- then use the rotate button to rotate the image, not the crop box.  (Isn't that the design center for the new crop box?  We're moving the image, not the crop box.)

    Howard, thanks for the tip about the X key; didn't realize it worked that way when the crop tool is active.  But in this case I had set the crop box dimenions, so the crop box starts out with the correct orientation.  Having played with this for a day, I conclude that the best approach for this task is to restore the old keyboard conventions for image rotation and rotate the image before launching the crop tool.
    I stand by my observation that the rotate key should affect the image, not the crop box because that is consistent with the new cropping paradigm: We rotate the image, not the crop box.  I realize making a change this late in the development cycle is awkward -- but if CS6 ships with this behavior, it will become even harder to change later -- and the user interface should be as consistent as possible.
    Noel, you are correct: The images are coming from scanned film.  All frames get scanned with the same orientation.  I want to avoid the "Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this.  Doctor: Then don't do that!" scenario.  Granted: If images are "correctly" oriented, this issue doesn't arise.  But not all images are oriented correctly and CS6 should be at least as graceful in handling the task as previous versions.

  • CS3 rotating and cropping video

    Hi there
    Please can someone help me? I have a video sequence that I need to rotate and then export as a MPEG file. I have managed to rotate it and crop it, however I still have large black margins. I want to show this video in a powerpoint presentation and I cannot get rid of the black margins at all. I am going crazy!!
    Thanks

  • How Can I Rotate and Zoom?

    Let's say I have a circle that's a large, detailed image. I want to be able to rotate and zoom to different points on that circle. How can that be accomplished in Muse? Thanks!

    What you want to do isn't possible with just Muse if I understand what you are trying to do correctly. I am assuming you want the user to be able to rotate and zoom the image?
    If so, then Edge Animate would be the tool you need and then import that into your Muse project.

  • How do I remove a crop from a clip?

    Hi,
    I have been putting together a selection of clips for a project. I applied a crop to one of the clips... but for some reason other clips have ended up cropped as well. How this happened I do not know. Best I can figure is that the clips I selected after I applied the first crop were also cropped as well.
    I can see the small crop icon in the upper-left corner of the clips but How do I remove the crop... or do I have to remove the clip from the project and start over again???

    Select the clip. Then open the Inspector. Go to the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns tab of the Inspector. Here you can switch between CROP, FIT, and KEN BURNS. You can also change the dimensions of the crop box (but you cannot change the aspect ratio.)
    CROP will cut off the top and bottom. FIT will letterbox to make it fit.
    You might also check to see if you have turned on Image Stabilization. This works by zooming in, which looks like a crop. You can turn off Image Stabilization in the Inspector under the CLIP tab.

    I am not sure I understand completely. I selected a clip and opened the Inspector, chose "CROP" and then adjusted the crop for that clip.... but exactly how do I turn that off IE reverse the process so that no adjustment is applyed?

  • How to do pan and scan on single clips?

    I have a timeline with multiple clips. I'm trying to do some pan and scan to single clips, pan and scan will be different on each of these clips. I tried to put a new "pan and scan" track, but it covers the complete timeline and I can't reduce it to the duration "covering" a single clip (as you can do with grading track). Is there a quick way to apply pan and scan to individual clips? I came from Apple Color where pan&scan was an individual tab in each clip, so it was really easy to do it and save it inside the look.

    I tried to do as you suggested, timeline become cluttered with a lot of keyframes, and I need to put 4 keyframes to each pan, to retain the basic 1.0 scale, otherwise the last keyframe value is applied to everything else.
    I hope Adobe will change this with a more intuitive per-clip pan&scan, always worked on a per-clip basis that in other grading apps and always found it fast and simple.

  • Rotate and crop

    I'm trying to straighten out some footage. I used the rotate tool in the "motion" tab to turn the image so it's straight. Now I assume I can use the crop tool to reframe the image, removing unwanted black areas. How do I do that?

    John,
    Now you use the scale parameter to zoom in slightly in order to get rid of the black areas.

  • Rotating and cropping, then rotating back again

    I need to crop my clip that I made in the vertical orientation.  I needed to crop out the top and bottom areas, so I rotated the clip to the horizontal position.  I was able to crop out the parts I needed.  My question now is, is it possible to rotate it back to the original orientation (vertical) with my saved cropping?  I haven't been able to figure out if I can do that.

    Correct, becasue Crop takes away from the edges only.  Scale is the physical size of the clip.

  • Rotating and Cropping Question ??

    Sometimes I have to straighten up a photo by rotating it like .1 degrees, and then when I try to crop the little sliver off the side it is a pain to get the crop marks just right. I there an easy way to crop out the new image while keeping as much of it as possible?
    I hope this makes sense.
    Thank you.
    Dan

    what Buko says,
    but you can crop+rotate+change resolution up-sampling (adding more pixels) with no problem.
    But crop+rotate+change resolution down-sampling (reducing the number of pixels) you can get some pretty bad image distortion.

  • How to place image and crop to fit inside vector shape

    I'm trying to place an image on top of a vector shape and then i want to trim the edges of the image so it takes on that shape (essentially filling the shape with the image)
    I'm also trying to do this with two layers of vector shapes, i want to fit one within the other and not have any over hang.. the top or "filling shape" is an array of hexagons (making a honeycomb like structure) i want it to fit within the underlying oval (lime green one) shape.  here's a link if you want to see what i'm doing.. its the one on the right
    www.oregonstate.edu/~pearsoan/images/achieve3.ai
    How do you do this?

    Blue,
    Put the shaping (vector) path on top of the image, select both, and Object>Clipping Mask>Make.
    I cannot open the file to see what there is to see, and I have to leave in a moment.
    If you upload an image, using the Camera icon, all helpers can see it here in the thread.
