How do I crop a clip and re-export it WITHOUT recompressing the video? Is it possible?

Question

Hello

We have to clean up a set of clips for a client, and some of them simply require cropping.

How can we crop a clip and then export without affecting or recompressing the video please? There doesnt seem to be a 'video pass-through' option... in After Effects or Media encoder...

thanks!

Matt

Correct. There is no such thing in Adobe apps and depending on the actual CoDecs used this may not even be possible in other apps, as there are limitations to how the viewable area can be manipulated in MP4 or ProRes, exacerbated by the fact that not all programs would necessarily honor this setting and you're back to square one then...
