action for saving different sized crops of a single image

I am new to using actions and just cannot get this to work. I want to open and edit and image and save the image at 800x800px, 400x400px, 100-100px and 45x45px each in a different folder. At each size I want to position the crop tool where I want it on the image before saving, so I'm choosing what gets cropped.

Can anyone give me the action commands I need to get this accomplished.

Thanks

Gary

    Yes, this works in CS4 - thank you. What is the key stroke you used to repeat actions? I didn't catch this. Also if I wanted to pause after a crop so I can edit out a line guide in the shot how would I do that?


    Here is video which explains what to do to pause playing action crop to multiple dimensions with stop.mp4 - Google Drive

    Bojan,

    That is really helpful. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this. I will try this on a set of images tomorrow.

    Bojan,

    I am following the video but when I select the crop tool is does not create a crop box on the image?


    I realize that after recording video. Try to draw rectangle crop selection after specifying dimensions which must have px after number, do not forget that and tell me how that works. Note: you will have problem when using images with different aspect ratios. To record action for just any aspect ratio of image please watch alternative method (using path) which is posted below.
