Hi all, I'm editing videos on Final Cut Pro on Mac but for to fit Phones. So I would like to crop the video for an iPhone screen size.
I see that you can crop and trim video on fcp but is there a possibility to crop for a particular size?

You can make a project with custom size, so it can be anything you like.
There are iPhone screens of different sizes, though. I don’t see the point, but if you want to match some particular screen size, you certainly can.

If you’re making a video for iPhone you normally use the project resolution to create the “crop.” The simplest way is to create a vertical project that’s 1080x1920, or some other form of 9:16.
You didn’t say what stage of the process you’re in. If you’ve already edited in a standard widescreen format, FCP has a function to duplicate the project and convert it to social media format, i.e for vertical display.
How to create and use standard and custom overlays:

Yes, but it does not effective the media, you can reframe as you like.
Thanks! That really helps. But I don't know what you think, but I'd certainly like it if there was more flexibility. For example, If I filmed in 16:9 or upload squared material in a vertical project in fcp, fcp automatically "reframes/ converts" and decides how to show the vertical video. no?
Hello all, (hello again)
I am just playing around with FCP, I havent used the tool in about 8 year and I am starting again to use it frequently.
Anyway, I am a bit off topic here but if I have a clip and I "collapse audio components", somehow the sound is still linked to the movie track, I would like to move the sound independently from the film track? Is there a way to do so? before I used to be able.
UPDATE: I Managed, everything is alright.
Thank you Tom, indeed I can reframe, fill and more in the inspector. Really good. It would be great if there was a rules and a grid like in graphic design applications.
You can add your own grid as an overlay. Any image with lines and an alpha channel can be used. Overlays don’t export so no need to remove it.
Thanks all!
Am I able to crop in Final Cut Pro to a specific size?
