Make sure the playhead is right over the primary action or the subject.

In this case, it's the moving airplane

The basic controls let you adjust the position, scale and rotation of the clip.

Let's start with scale because that will affect how we want to position the subject in the frame. With maintained proportions checked, drag the width slider to the right to increase the size of the image.

Before adjusting position controls, I'll move the playhead again so it's parked right where the primary action ends. (the airplane should be just about to leave the frame)

Now click the image in the preview monitor and adjust the monitor size to make sure we can see the thin blue boundary that outlines the edges of the clip.

Pull up on the 2 lines!

We don't want the action of the plane to end too soon, so go to the vertical position controls and drag the slider left to raise the video image higher in the frame as we drag the vertical position slider.

Rotation controls allow you to spin the clip up to 180 degrees in either direction. When you rotate a clip, you may need to readjust the scale settings to keep black from showing around the edges of the frame.

Tip: The original video files are never permanently changed, so you can restore the image anytime by pressing reset to default.

Reset the basic controls before cropping under crop.

Type a value of 12 and press return for both the top and bottom to create a wide screen look. We want to continue this wide screen look in the next clip.

In this clip, the camera pans and tilts.

From the city skyline up to the subject spaces, their heads are fully visible when the playhead is about 1/4 of the way into the shot.

Uh, it now looks like we've cropped off these guys heads.

If we drag the playhead, we see their faces eventually come back into frame, but not until playback is halfway through the clip.

Let's reset the advanced controls and instead of taking 12% from the top and bottom of the clip,  take 24% from just the bottom of the image.

Now we have to adjust the vertical position of the image so it matches the previous clip.

Center this image by typing a vertical value of 670

Select the clip we want to adjust, in the advanced section, type a value of 12 and press return for both the top and bottom to create a wide screen look.

Adjusting the second and last clip!
