Adjusting the Cropping Mode

If an image does not perfectly fit the aspect ratio of your smoovie, it can be made to fit by setting the cropping mode to either cropping or letterboxing.

Cropping will trim the edges of the image to fit the aspect ratio of the smoovie.

Letterboxing will preserve the original image by adding black bars at top and bottom, or left and right as appropriate, to fit the aspect ratio of the smoovie.

To adjust the Cropping Mode of a scene or scenes, do the following:

  1. From the Editor select the scene or scenes you wish to adjust.
  2. Select View > Show Inspector or click Inspector in the toolbar.
  3. Select the Cropping Mode that you wish from the drop-down menu. Choose from either Cropping or Letterboxing.

Note: You can change the cropping mode as often as you like, as doing so does not alter the underlying images.
