Crop a Video
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
Crop cuts the video image area so that only a portion of the frame remains. You determine the width, height, and position of the left dot above the area of the cut. This feature is useful for converting landscape video into a square or portrait, or for throwing out unwanted edges. Once cropped, the video resolution shrinks and the subject can appear larger inside the frame.
Key points
- Crops throw out some of the area of the image, not some of the duration
- General order of parameters: width, height, position x, position y
- The positions x and y are calculated from the left angle above the frame
- For video codecs, the width and height of the result should be even.
- Crops do not magnify details; parts thrown away cannot be returned
