[VP16_248] New 'Crop' offers no answers to Square Insta formats..

AVsupport wrote on 8/26/2018, 8:17 PM

Using a FHD 1920x1080 source, it would be nice to just simply change the project settings to an Instagram friendly square format ie 1080x1080, and have the ability to scale the source material ie. 'CROP' it to fill the whole frame. Currently, everything gets letterboxed (including external monitor).

I was really hoping the new Vegas Crop could do that. Unfortunately not. This is still a cumbersome and difficult process thus far...

I am annoyed that this is still not possible in VP16 especially since that had been discussed..surely I'm not the first one with that issue.. but thanks for the tip

All you need to do is to save and use a customized project property preset. The square pan/crop preset already is available. Also, there is a script around since many years which applies the "Match Output Aspect" to all selected Events.

thanks for the work around @Marco. appreciated! I was just hoping for the almighty 'fill frame' checkbox in the Crop plugin. Maybe VP20 in 2020.
