Cropping
Cropping is the process of removing the outside edges from an image or video, thereby re-framing the
subject. In the following example, the Event Pan/Crop window on the left has been used to create a selection
area around the subject, removing extraneous information from the outside of the video. This creates a zoom
effect that is similar to zooming in with a camcorder. The Video Preview window on the right displays the
event after cropping.
