@andizackable If you want the frame to fill your screen as you crop, you are not so much cropping but resizing and Avid has a resize effect but it also has PIP or 3dwarp which do this but with much more parameter control.

When you crop part of a frame off, whether in "3D warp" " resize effect" "PIP effect" or you must scale up the size to fill the screen.

How do you add a bunch of MOVs (73) from the bin directly into the timeline?

@MICKTAM12 wow, I spent a lot of money on this, and I don't regret it, of coarse the interface is a bit more complex compared to something like "sony vegas" that's and amateur program, it's nothing compared to avid.

I have a quick avid question. I want to crop video, and the only way I can find how is to use the 3d warp effect. I can crop, but then the rest of the screen is black. How do i get my crop to fill the screen. I don't understand why it's so hard to figure out. Thanks.
