is there a way to crop video output to a different aspect ratio?
example: I import a video of 1280x700 and I would like to crop to say a 5:5 and then render. Is this possible?

"I would like to crop to say a 5:5"
doesn't make sense do you mean 700 x 700 square? project settings- video set your frame size uncheck all options to automatically resize then you might need to adjust framing with a plugin

I'm struggling finding a way to crop a video to a certain output width and height without getting any black borders encoded with it. For example, how can I have a source video (1920x1080) cropped to something like 1920x920 while keeping the original proportions and with no black areas, just the cropped content?

De nada! You can do the same with stock presets but its not as easy to do and to explain.

I just tried the cropping preset in another project and I couldn't get it to work. The project includes alternating video clips of 4k and 1080p resolution crossfaded into each other on the same track and also a logo overlay track. The output should be 3840x1800. This is what I saved in the cropping preset and in the render dialog.
I tried checking and unchecking the options in the project preferences ("always resize video source ..." and "always resize output ...") but it didn't work. Preferred video dimensions were set to 3840x1800. I finally tried putting the cropping effect on a folder above all other video tracks but the video never came out properly cropped (it was just down-sized). Any help is much appreciated! .

Step 1: set the project dims to the target size step 2: insert a "Overlay: Overlay image" preset on your source that's all! |

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, I still don't get it to work. I'm already using the overlay preset to overlay a permanent logo over the track with mixed 4k and 1080p footage. I also tried putting the overlay preset on this track but it didn't change anything.

Is there a way to have a video come out in the dimension specified in the render dialog no matter what the input dimensions of the clips on the timeline are? It's one of the most basic and essential requirements the video processor/rendering engine should meet.
