question about cropping.

[nick101181]

I am wondering how to crop a certain section of a clip. for example if my clip is 10 mins but during say the 5 minute mark for about 30 seconds I have a huge ticker at the bottom that I want to get rid of, how would i crop and stretch without having to splice,crop,then splice back together? I am referring to WWE Raw on TSN (Canada). They have this huge 3 inch sports ticker during matches at the bottom of the screen. It's real annoying. It comes every 5 mins it seems like. Anyway I want to crop it out without cutting the video then cropping then rejoining, any ideas how I can crop a certain section of video without touching the rest of it ? thanks

Let avisynth do the cutting and cropping "on the fly" for you. Try something like (avisynth 2.5 ):

AviSource("video.avi")
c1 = trim(0,1000) # part without ticker
c2 = letterbox(trim(1001,2000),0,10) # blackens out 10 bottom lines
c3 = trim(2001,3000) # part without ticker
c4 = letterbox(trim(3001,0)0,10) # blackens out 10 bottom lines
c1 ++ c2 ++ c3 ++ c4

Or perhaps try something like the "LogoAway" filters in VDub.

Hope this helps, Kees Janssen.
