Blocking out an area of the video using VirtualDub?

[Bowdon]

Hi,

I have a video that I'm wanting to block the edge areas out. So if the video was split vertically down in 3 parts, I only want to have the middle part visible.

I heard that VirtualDub can do this but I'm not sure how its done.

Can someone point me in the direction of a guide that would do what I'm looking for please?

Thanks for any help that can be given.

Fill filter. Or Crop and Pillarbox with the Resize filter.

Thanks for the quick reply.

The fill looks good.. but I'm having problems saving the filter to the actual video. And when I save the file its just totally black screen. Im going to have to mess around with this virtualdub some more.. only just downloaded it recently.

Do you see your video in the input pane? After adding the fill filters do you see the correct result in the output pane?

[Bowdon]

No. Is the output pane the view that plays the videos? or are you meaning a different box?

I don't see where the filter as been added. After I select either fill or crop I press Done and it takes me back to the main video area. But it just seems to be the original unfiltered video that is playing still, unfiltered.

Ok, I figured it out.

Thanks for the help jagabo
