Racking involves adjusting the vertical position of a shot. You need to rack your images after you adjust the aspect ratio. By racking, you ensure that the important element of the shot composition is framed correctly in the final images.

To adjust the racking of an image:

  1. Make sure you have set the aspect ratio to match the intended output format. See Setting the Aspect Ratio.
  2. Select the shot to adjust.
  3. Click Image, and then click Reposition.

    The Reposition menu appears.
