To apply crop settings to your Matrox effect, click the Crop tab or the Crop

track:

This means that you’ll have only one keyframe at the first frame of your clip. If

you want to change settings at different frames of the clip, you’ll have to clear

¦NoteThe default crop settings that you specify in the Matrox Advanced

Settings

dialog box (see page 52) are applied to all your Matrox effects. You can

customize the crop settings for individual effects by defining keyframes at any

point on the

Crop track. For details on how to change an effect’s crop settings

over time by creating and editing keyframes, see “Working with keyframes” on

page 157.

You can adjust the crop settings in the following ways:

• Crop directly in the

Cropping Window by dragging resize handles on the

image.

• Use the crop controls to crop any edge by a given number of pixels.
