cropping in flip for mac
Is it possible to crop the WMV file in flip for mac? I have a client who wants the talking heads we shot and edited cropped. Any thoughts? Thanks.

You need QuickTime Pro, which is part of FCP, so if you aren’t running FCP (unlikely, since this is the FCP forum, but you never know) and don’t have QT Pro, this won’t work.
My method for cropping QT’s (which just worked on the Flip4Mac wmv I just opened), is:
Using PhotoShop, make a black and white GIF the same dimensions as the movie you want to crop, with the space you want cropped white and the space you want preserved black. In other words if you have a 360 by 360 movie you want to crop to 360 by 240, you create a 360 by 360 GIF with 60 pixel-wide white strips on both sides. Save it. Then…
Open the movie, hit command j, select the video track, click on the choose button under the mask box, select the GIF you just made and viola you are cropped. Save your movie.
