# scalingMode

The scaling mode to use when displaying the movie.

```
var scalingMode: MPMovieScalingMode { get set }
```

## Discussion

Changing this property while the movie player is visible causes the current movie to animate to the new scaling mode.

The default value of this property is [`MPMovieScalingMode.aspectFit`](/documentation/MediaPlayer/MPMovieScalingMode/aspectFit). For a list of available scaling modes, see [`MPMovieScalingMode`](/documentation/MediaPlayer/MPMovieScalingMode).
