# Measuring DOM nodes in Remotion
Remotion applies a `scale()` transform to the video container, which affects values from `getBoundingClientRect()`. Use `useCurrentScale()` to get correct measurements.
## Measuring element dimensions
```tsx
import { useCurrentScale } from "remotion";
import { useRef, useEffect, useState } from "react";
export const MyComponent = () => {
const ref = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
const scale = useCurrentScale();
const [dimensions, setDimensions] = useState({ width: 0, height: 0 });
useEffect(() => {
if (!ref.current) return;
const rect = ref.current.getBoundingClientRect();
setDimensions({
width: rect.width / scale,
height: rect.height / scale,
});
}, [scale]);
return <div ref={ref}>Content to measure</div>;
};
```
