FINAL CUT - Ken Burns on Cropped Video Clip Hi gang, When I edit a cropped video clip on Final Cut and then want to add the Ken Burns Effect it doesn't use the cropped but the original settings of the clip (so the whole frame). It's a hassle to then adjust the Ken Burns Effect to the exact crop of my video. Most of the time it's never the exact same size and it looks messy. Anyone knows how to apply Ken Burns to a cropped video clip and the video remaining in its cropped state? Thank you (and hope that made sense).

My Crop function is weird Suddenly when I try to do a Ken Burns there's only a right-to-left (or opposite) choice. Worse, a selected photo or video may appear halfway up the frame. There's little button I never saw before on the right of the viewing screen that toggle the selection vertically and seems to affect previously set clips. I must have changed something somewhere but don't know what it was.

Trim a clip under 1 sec via Info Why can't I trim a clip length under 1 sec via Info. I have to do it manually for each clip in the timeline.

Select the first clip and Command-C to Copy.

Select the second clip and Command-Shift-V to Paste Attributes.

If necessary, uncheck any other attributes or effects that you don't want to paste.

After you have pasted the Ken Burns, activate the clip and click the button to swap the start and end.

Finally, adjust the end to your liking.
