Does anyone know if you can crop a video in Power Director 6?

Let's say there are two people in a video and I wanted to take one person out what would be the best way to do that? Through Christ,

Depends....

You could place the video in the time-line
Place a *.png image (whole screen size) with black and transparent area into PiP.
Create the video as an avi (uncompressed)

I'm not sure exactly what you have in mind.

The "black" can be removed with the chrome key - be careful.
The transparent area allows you to localise the area you want retained.

Anyway... I'm just throwing you possibilities.

Thanks for your help!

Let me try it this way.........

In photoshop or any photo editing software, you can crop out an image and in return it will make the specified image larger with out running into resolutions problems.
I am wanting to take that same idea and perform that task in the video editing world. Crop out a particular image in the video with out running into resolutions problems.
I probably did not do justice in explaining it.

Thank you for your response Through Christ,

Chris,

Attach a picture - yep a still image of what you're trying to achieve.

Then at least others can view and give an input - would help a heck of a lot to.

So I guess version 6 does not have crop?

That really bites. I do not even know if I should spend my money in upgrading to version 7. I recently bought a computer and it came pre installed in my comp.
