Cropping a video

[VinnyC]

Hi. I downloaded a video and at the bottom is a crawler(bar at the bottom that shows sports scores). I want to crop this off-is there a way to perform this function? I saw the cropping FAQ but couldn't find how to crop the bottom. I am using VS X2. Thanks!

There is a cropping filter in the 'FX' library which will allow you to crop bits off the edges - but be aware that if you just trim the bottom your video will not be in the correct ratio and your videos may be out of proportion - unless you just going to leave a blank space at the bottom.

Thanks Brian!

I had the same problem. In order to eliminate the black space in the botton, you can put one of the graphic colors in the Overlay Track just to the space you want to cover. I have choosed the light grey one and it was better than the black.
