Cropping a video for specific time

Hi there,

Just wanted to confirm use the use of the term cropping here.

MediaConvert supports input clipping [1]. Where you can specify a section of video that you would like to include in your output. You can find this option by clicking on Create Job -> Under Inputs click Input 1 -> and under Input clips, click the 'Add input clip'. From there you would put your clipping region there. So for your example of 2:50 - 6:00 it would be 00:02:50:00 as the Start timecode and 00:06:00:00 as the End timecode. Keep in mind that our timecode syntax is HH:MM:SS:FF (Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames) from non-drop frame timecode or HH:MM:SS;FF (Hours:Minutes:Seconds;Frames) for drop frame timecode.

Please keep in mind this is based on timecode of the input file. If you know the file has embedded timecode, make sure to set Timecode source appropriately.

You also have the option of starting at 0 (which we will ignore any embedded timecode on the input) or specify start time (which we would use that as the start time of the input file and any input related feature, like input clipping, would follow)

We also support the concept of cropping video (per input, or per output), this feature is used when wanting to remove letter boxing or other sections of the video..however this happens for the duration of the file, there is no way to specify a time frame for this.

Thanks,
Jeremy
