// updated version avail, with a new feature //

Happy Holidays everyone,

it’s that time of the year with new phones, new videos and tons of Vertical Video Syndrome!


To fix that, I built me the ks_VVFixer; download the zip and install it in your Movies/iMotion Templates/Effects folder…

IMPORTANT NOTE
To make the effect work in FCPX, you HAVE to make your clip a Compound clip! So, add your clip(s) to timeline, select it, hit alt-G.

Now, you’re ready to go: drag VVFixer from the Effects Browser onto your clip. You instantly get the preset.

In the Inspector, you see various settings, which are partly self-explanatory.
Zoom is set to fill the frame, but you can zoom any further
Position allows to move the bg on x- and y-axis
Stretching has no effect until you check the stretch-box - it then sizes the x-axis only

b+w gives the bg a darker or brighter tone

blur finally does what it says, its preset is 30%, but you can set it to 0, due to magnification/squeezing the pic quality doesn’t get really better…..

NEW feature:
you can zoom into your source - again: quality-wise not recommended
and finally shift the source up/down (when zoomed-in)

Hope you like it, feel free to improve it, and let us know what you have changed!

Version II avail

added the option to zoom the source, up to full screen - keep in mind: high chance, a vertical video doesn't match your projects horizontal resolution! By zooming-in you'll instantly notice a quality loss.....

Karsten!!!!! you're very fun for sure I know. Here this time, you're also brilliant. I laughed a lot, this is an idiot proof video. A little veiled criticism, for a stupid fashion. Ben follow the advice of Karsten and sing us a song, I'm very curious to listen to you.
