How can I crop a 5,3k video to a 4k video

[maxli4]

I trying now some time to crop a 5,3k video from a hero12 to a 4k video, but I didn’t find the solution until now.
To clarify: the result shoud be the cutout of 3840 * 2160 pixels of this original 5312 * 2988 pixel video like a zoom.
Thanks a lot for any help

Do you need to animate movement of the crop rectangle?

One way is to use Automatic video mode (or custom one that is 5.3K), make the project timeline, click Export > Video > Reframe. In the Reframe filter, change the size to 3840x2160. Then, drag the on-video rectangle control around to choose the area to include. Next, you can turn on keyframes and move the rectangle at different points in time. You can even track the motion of an object.

Reframe Output Video Filter

Reframe or reframing is a way to crop a video or editing project in order to export it to a different aspect ratio. For example, you made a video project in 16:9 aspect ratio landscape/horizontal orientation but now want to make a 9:16 portrait/vertical orientation video for social media. Other forms of cropping are used primarily within a composition to remove bad edges (Crop: Source), zoom in to fill the frame (Size, Position & Rotate), add colored borders (Crop: Rectangle), or clip an overlay…

at first no animation

Yes, that sounds good. I will go into this solution .
Thanks a lot.

I finaly found how it works to crop from 5.3 to 4k and select the position, but shotcut tell me after export : “fehlgeschlagen” after vew seconds and I do not find a log, which tell me more …

Now I found the log;

Change Export > Video > Scan mode to Progressive. All GoPro’s shoot progressive video. This tells me you chose the wrong Video Mode in either Settings menu or the New Project form.

[maxli4]

Scan mode IS progressive !

[shotcut]

Then turn off hardware encoding. Maybe some weird combination of Video Mode and Reframe caused the problem.

[maxli4]

Yes, without hardware encoding it is working (libx265)
Fortunately, I have only these two videos in 5,3k. Hardware encoder is about 5 times faster than sw encoder …

[shotcut]

This is fixed for the next version 25.03. The workaround is to add progressive=1 on a new line to Export > Other.

[maxli4]

Wow, super. Thanks a lot. I will try it.
