Use Transform to position the foreground image
The following steps assume you have already configured a key but need to reposition the
foreground image.
1 Select the foreground clip in the Timeline.
2 In the lower-left corner of the Viewer, choose Transform from the pop-up menu and move the
image to the position you want. In the above example, you might want to move the woman to
the left.
You can also resize the image.
3 Click Done in the Viewer when you are finished repositioning the foreground image.
Compositing
Compositing overview
Compositing refers to combining parts of two or more video clips into a single image. There are
a number of ways to combine video images in Final Cut Pro:
•
Transitions: All video transitions involve combining the end of one clip with the start of a
second clip, which results in a combination of the two clips appearing at the same time during
the transition.
•
Keying: All keys involve compositing a foreground image over a background image.
