No idea why would I want only a part of the video visible and the rest… as black painted background? But I assume is some sort of effect. Open vid, select the actual part of the video you want (in my case, I just wanted the vertical square where a person is doing sign language in some news channels), crop that part, save it and move on. I assumed, clearly wrong, that video should be the same. Open pic, select, crop to selection, save and that’s it. I clearly went with the wrong mindset, probably spoiled for doing it mindless with pictures in paintnet for years. With other programs I couldn’t even get to the “trying to crop the part of the video you actually want” stage. I can say shotcut was the closest program to help me with it. I couldn’t do it but I already waste the saturday trying to do this so it’s just time to move on. It’s a snappy workflow once you get the hang of it. After this is done, the cropped video can be added to the timeline for additional editing, such as trimming. Even if Automatic is already selected, this should resize the project to the resolution of the cropped source video. Now, before adding the clip from the playlist to the timeline and while the clip is still selected in the source viewer, select the menu item Settings > Video Mode > Automatic. Again, it is critical that you are adding this filter to the source clip and not a timeline instance. You can then use the “filters” tab to add “Crop: Source” (the other crop modes will not work for this purpose) and adjust the position bars to clip the video. With the clip selected in this way, from the playlist and not the project timeline, you can use the preview pane to seek to the section of clip to crop. You can tell this is the case because the “source” tab will be selected instead of the “project” tab. If you double click the clip you wish to crop in the playlist tab, you will open it up into the preview pane. I think that this feature already exists, at least in the capacity that I have used it.
