# videoScaleAndCropFactor

The current scale and crop factor the video output uses.

```
var videoScaleAndCropFactor: CGFloat { get set }
```

## Discussion

The property only applies to a video connection. You can set this property to a value in the range `[1.0,` ``AVCaptureConnection/videoMaxScaleAndCropFactor```]`. A factor of `1.0` keeps the image at its original. Factors greater than `1.0` scale the image up and center-crop the image to its original dimensions.
