video editing

[jonbid]

which program should i be using to crop video files?

i ask because I am designing in 3D Studio Max with an image background from Photoshop, but, i dont want the whole background...

i am not aware of a way of doing this in 3DSMax, so i am saving an AVI in the same dimensions as my background, which is larger than necesary.

any help is gratefully recieved

Ofcourse it does.

I use Adobe Premiere 6 (outdated :D)

Yup its actually an effect that can be applied to your clips. (I use premiere pro 1.5 btw)

go to video effects and then go to transform and u shud see crop there. drag it over your clip on the timeline and handles shud appear in the monitor pane.

just drag :)
