Is there a way to trim down some of the screen in imovie or Final Cut Pro? Basically I have a clip of someone being interviewed but the camera person failed to center the interviewee so theres extra unncessary stuff on the whole right side of the shot. Is there any way in either imovie or Final Cut to only have the part of the screen that the interview subject is in? If so, how? Thanks!
I haven't used the latest version of iMovie, but I know this is very easy to do in FCP, though it doesn't always turn out very crisp. You will have to judge for yourself how much quality loss is justifiable in zooming the picture. To zoom the image in FCP:
- Select your clip in the timeline, and make sure the playhead is over it.
- Go to the preview window (defaults to the upper right corner)
- Along the top of the window there are small rounded drop-down menu buttons with symbols on them. Select the one on the right side, and pick the menu option "Image+Wireframe", then you can move the picture around in the frame, and zoom it in and out.
