For example, you can have Final Cut Pro change the frame size of the clip to fit within the longest dimension of the project’s frame dimensions, fill the entire frame of the project (which usually results in cropping), or leave the clip’s frame size as is.
Click the Type pop-up menu in the Spatial Conform section of the Video inspector, then choose a method of conforming frame size. Note: If the clip you selected has the same frame size (resolution) as the project, the Spatial Conform section does not appear. Fit: The default setting.

How do I create shapes in Final Cut Pro?
You can use the Shapes generator to add a shape—such as a star, a diamond, an arrow, or a heart—above the primary storyline. You can then animate the shape. If the Titles and Generators sidebar isn’t already shown in Final Cut Pro, do one of the following: Choose Window > Go To > Titles and Generators (or press Option-Command-1).
Click the Inspector button on the right side of the toolbar. Click the Generator button at the top of the inspector. In the Generator inspector, click the Shape pop-up menu and choose the shape to use, then set the shape’s fill color, outline color and width, and drop shadow.
How does Final Cut Pro manage project settings?
Final Cut Pro manages project settings automatically. This means you can work with multiple media types with differing frame sizes (also referred to as resolution) and frame rates in the same project.
Click the Titles and Generators button in the top-left corner of the Final Cut Pro window.
