# preferredTransform

The preferred transform of the visual media.

## Declaration

```swift
var preferredTransform: CGAffineTransform { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The system retrieves the transform from the AVAssetTrack that provides the media data. If the source track doesn’t specify a transform, the value of this property is CGAffineTransformIdentity.
