view results while setting the resize settings.
In the first procedure, extract a 4:3 cutout from a 16:9 clip. In the second procedure, extract a custom cutout from a source

- Access the Resize module for a 16:9 clip on the Desktop, in Batch, or from soft effects if you are working on the timeline.
- Click the Source button next to the Clip label to make the crop box the same size as the source frame.
- Make sure Regen is enabled to get dynamic visual feedback of the result clip in the viewport on the right. See Getting Dynamic Feedback in Result View.
- From the Resolution Presets box, select the 4:3 resolution to which you want to resize the source.
- Make sure Keep Aspect is enabled.
- From the Fit Method box, select Crop Edges.
- Depending on the source and destination resolutions, select a scan mode from the Scan Mode box.
- Process the result.
