VSE: How to crop specific segment of a video? I'm dealing with a 1080p workspace and 1080p video footage.
I need a segment where I crop the segment of a specific strip so its just of the girl in the picture below.

So going from picture one...


...To Picture 2 (assume the background is transparent).


How do I do this in the VSE for a video? Using 'crop' in the strip menue scales the image rather than cuts parts out of it. And the transform effect strip doesn't have any options other than zoom in (I don't want to zoom in...I want to crop the video and display it in the 1080p workspace like the 2nd image is, then I'd put other images to the side of it etc).

To Date I've been placing colour strips overtop to make it cropped the way I want (would be 2 white strips in this case if I did id that way), but this is alot of micromanagement when I need to do alot of this stuff in 1 frame.
The VSE_Transform_Tools addon does just what you're looking for.

The in-house method is to enable "Image Offset" and adjust the values in the "Image Crop" section, then reposition the cropped image using the values in the image offset area:
