❶ Cropping with 2 parameters
→ ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf crop=600:400 output.mp4
with:
crop = FFMPEG video filter to cut part of a video
600 = The cropping width (around the reference point)
400 = The cropping height (around the reference point)
Note: In this scenario (2 parameters only for the crop video filter), the reference point is the center of the input video
❷ Cropping with 4 parameters
→ ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf crop=600:400:500:300 output.mp4
with:
crop = FFMPEG video filter to cut part of a video
600 = The cropping width
400 = The cropping height
500 = The horizontal distance from the reference point before the horizontal cropping starts
300 = The vertical distance from the reference point before the vertical cropping starts
Note: In this scenario (4 parameters for the crop video filter), the reference point is the upper left corner of the input video (0, 0)
