[Libav-user] How is cropping and scaling implemented

[Kristensen, Odd-Arild]

Fair point, cropping should not modify the pixels. But at some point you would want to remove the pixels outside the selected region, or copy the pixels inside the region to the destination frame. I dont’t see either of these things happening in filter_frame() Am I looking in the wrong place?

I would say that cropping is not supposed to change
the pixels (of a video).

This is correct.

Both.
