Do one of the following:
•
(Lighting Effects only) Apply the Lighting Effects to the clip and then click the Transform icon
next to
Lighting Effects in the Effect Controls panel.
•
(Motion effect only) Click the clip in the Program Monitor or click the Transform icon
next to Motion in the
Effect Controls panel.
The handles and clip anchor point appear in the Program Monitor.

In the Program Monitor, do any of the following:
•
To position a clip or lighting effect, click in the clip or effect outline and drag to reposition it. Don’t drag a handle
to reposition the clip or lighting effect.
•
To scale freely, drag a corner handle.
•
To scale along one dimension only, drag a side (not a corner) handle.
•
To scale proportionally, Shift-drag a corner handle.
Note: When using the Motion effect to scale a clip, scaling images over 100% can make them look blocky or pixelated.
•
To rotate a clip or effect, position the pointer slightly outside any of the handles, so that the pointer changes into
the Rotate icon
and drag. Shift-drag constrains the rotations to 45° increments. For the Motion effect, you can
also drag in a circular motion until the clip rotates the number of times you want to create multiple rotations.
•
To update only the wireframe outline of the frame, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) any handle. This
may give faster results for clips with large dimensions or for slow systems.
To animate the motion, scaling, or rotation over time, set keyframes as you manipulate the clip or effect in the
Program Monitor.

Scale assets
When you drag an asset into a sequence, by default Premiere Pro preserves its frame size and centers the asset in the
program frame. Alternatively, you can automatically scale imported assets to the project’s default frame size. You can
rescale the asset without distortion if its pixel aspect ratio has been interpreted correctly.
Scale assets manually
1
Drag the asset into a sequence and select the asset.
2
Open the Effect Controls panel.
3
Click on the arrow next to the Motion effect to reveal the motion controls.

Click on the arrow next to the Scale control within the Motion effect to reveal the Scale slider.
5
Move the Scale slider left or right to decrease or increase the size of the frame.
