changing image size displayed using Perspective Reflection

Maybe I'm just lazy, but say I want the image to be larger than the default box using the perspective reflection filter. If I manipulate each parameter in the filter window how can I be sure that I am maintaining a proper 4:3 ratio and non distorting the image just relying on the eye. I'm finding that method quite slow and hit and miss... Any better way? Or am I missing some feature?
Thanks

Hi Kim,
I'm afraid that you are not missing anything: at the moment you can set up a reflection only by (painfully) moving all 6 control points.
The good news is that in the next version of FxFactory we'll be adding a simpler version of both Perspective Reflection and the Videoconference transition. This simple version will have a single point parameter (defining the center of the image), and scaling controls.
Until this new version comes out, you should take a look at the existing presets: while they may not have exactly what you need, it's easy to test them out and you can always use them as starting points (note: Presets require FCP 6.0)
