Crop sizes

Is there a way to get uniform sizes for a crop? I have three speakers in a Zoom and I am placing them side by side but I want the boxes to be uniform. I cannot see actual dimensions for the crop. Is there a way to say, I want every clip to be 360 pixels by 400 pixels etc? Then I drag them into alignment?

Correct answer PaulMurphy

The easiest way is to nest each clip in a 360 x 400 sequence. This keeps cropping and sizing consistent in your main timeline. With snapping enabled, you can easily align them side by side.

Typically you would use the screen guides set as you need them to size/crop/mask as necessary for this work.

 

Sometimes, I've seen a graphic with three "holes" on V1, that has a border around each hole. And then the other video tracks are placed above it, with a mask on each limiting that track to the correct hole.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
