# appliesPreferredTrackTransform

A Boolean value that specifies whether to apply the track matrix or matrices when generating an image from the asset.

```
var appliesPreferredTrackTransform: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

The default value is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>. This class only supports rotation by 90, 180, or 270 degrees.

The image generator ignores this property if you set a value for the [`videoComposition`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVAssetImageGenerator/videoComposition) property.
