How would I find the new resolution of a video after I have cropped/zoomed in on it?

Currently the timeline only shows the original format resolution, and I need the information of the zoomed in final product to determine what resolutions I can produce in..

Any assistance to my question would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.

I saw your post and I cannot test this because I am rendering at the moment, but if you use the snapshot function it will create an image of THAT resolution in the timeline. Darn I can't look right now but there should also be a setting in Preferences to enable-disable original resolution in snapshot.

Now a caveat is I think it is different in the main timeline than from the other timelines, but that is very easy to find out, just snapshot the close up in both, then when the images import into the library, look at their properties.

I think that will work to get the info you are looking for, but again I am locked into a render.

Hi nikkolaus -

It's a good question.

If you use 10x10 grid lines in the Crop window, that'll give you an idea (with a bit of calculation)

If you start with a 1920x1080 & crop to a bit less than half the screen space, you're at about 1280x720.

The attached overlays might help you out.

Cheers - Tony
