I am not sure that is best. What about footage that is not from the EOS 550D - it will be cropped. And you have to make the custom project profile, remember to use it, and remember this procedure (easy for you and I but maybe not for someone editing a few times a year). > At least in theory.

The way crop is integrated is special. It is probably something simple. However, I think we might want to think about another remedy. I am not sure what right now. It would be interesting to see what people are doing on other editors and platforms. > Footage can be found here: > http://kdenlive.org/video-editor/canon-eos-550d > > Simon -- +-DRD-+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
