1. Open the frame.
2. In the Frame Editor, double-click the frame.

   2. In the Width field, enter the size of the border (in pixels).

   3. Click OK.

   Note You only need to set the border width in the movie properties once. If you change the border width, it will change for all frames in the movie.
