Smart Conform is needed when you need to create a vertical project after all media was shot. NOTE: If you know you are creating a vertical media project before production starts, then turn your camera 90° and shoot a vertical image. There are other differences which will appear during this tutorial. Smart Conform is Apple’s answer to Auto Reframe, introduced in Adobe Premiere Pro in September, 2019. A key difference between the two is that Smart Conform applies to clips, while Auto Reframe works on sequences. A typical example is taking media shot 16:9, then converting it for a trailer on Instagram at 1:1 or an iPhone at 9:16. This takes an existing clip or clips and “crops” them to fit into a different aspect ratio. Not every project needs to use serious titles – sometimes, something fun is more… um, fun.One of the new features in the 10.4.9 update to Final Cut is Smart Conform.

Double-click on the text in the Viewer and change it to whatever you want.Then, in Inspector > Video, alter Transform > Position so that the title text is located where you want it in the frame.In Inspector > Video, change the blend mode to Overlay.We will play with the Light Color in a minute. ![]()
