Hi Guys,
I have some Dashcam video files that I wish to crop.
The Dashcam has a very wide view and I wish to concentrate the viewer's attention to the important parts of the scene.
The files are quicktime mpeg-4 .mov
I will paste below the output of MediaInfo for one of the files.
Any recommendations appreciated.

Good question.
A fixed region would be easiest, black borders would be best, and there is no need to maintain aspect ratio.
But out of curiosity, would the software choice be different for a region that changes when the scene changes?

Using almost any advanced NLE, zoom in and control the X-Y position with keyframes. It's called the Ken Burns Effect.
