How would you remove a boom mic from the corner of a frame?

Removing a boom mic from the corner of a frame is best achieved by scaling the clip, which involves adjusting the size of the video frame itself. This action effectively allows you to eliminate unwanted elements that are not intended to be seen, such as the boom mic. By scaling, you can enlarge the frame to focus more on the subject of the shot while cutting off the part of the frame where the microphone appears.

Cropping the frame, on the other hand, would also remove the mic, but it typically reduces the overall viewable area and could cut off important visual information. Zooming in, while it might make the subject more prominent, would not necessarily remove the boom mic if it is still in the frame unless the microphone is positioned far enough from the subject. Panning the camera shifts the entire frame left or right, which won’t solve the issue of the mic being visible as it remains within the boundaries of the camera's view. Thus, scaling the clip is the most effective and controlled method to address this specific problem.
