New York, NY | Easy way to crop a video without changing resolution? I recently took a video through a chain link fence, and so when its played back you can see the out of focus chain at the edges of the screen. The video itself is fine however and I want to upload it to youtube. I would like to essentially crop out the portion of the frames that includes the chain link fence in view, without losing the aspect ratio or resolution of the video itself. For still images this is very easy as you just use a marquee "type" tool to highlight the part you want and hit save. Is there a similarly easy way to do this with video?

kudos:18 | AVIDemux is very good. Basically an easier version of Virtualdub.
I don't understand why you want to resize it back up to the original resolution, though.

My concern is that cropping it will mess up the quality. |

Give it a try...just work on a copy and not the original file. |

Give it a try...just work on a copy and not the original file. Sorry for the delay here! I just tried this out and I can't figure out how to get the crop to "stick" after selecting it as filter. Any idea?

Disregard my last post, I figured it out. Although the video plays smoothly it was automatically converted at 5fps. Doesn't that seem low? |

No the image will still be full res but smaller... you try to return to full screen then yes then you will introduce interpolation errors and pixelation
