Crop a video source
You can crop a video source to change the size and shape of your video as it appears on screen using the
custom layout editor. Cropping a source gives you a lot of advantages and can help to conserve the overall
amount of processing CPU usage for your Pearl-2. You can capture a 1080p section from a 4K source, a
specific aspect ratio or size from a source, or select a crop that fits into your layout better than the full area of
your video.
