Hallo,
with my last video I encountered the problem that the quality after cropping and resizing ist very poor.
The original video is Full HD. I cropped an area of aspect ratio 4:3 and about 70 % height and checked "Zoom to cropped area". When exporting I choosed a size of 640x480 px.
This is a screenshot of the resulting video:
You can see that the picture is strongly pixelated.
For comparison I did the same procedure with my image processing software (Paintshop X5):
You can see that the quality is much better.
This is a link to the video created with Videopad:

Is there a way to improve this?
I'm aware that rezising always results in a loss of quality but Paintshop X5 shows that the result can be much better than Videopad achieves.
Best regards - Ulrich
