[FEATURE] Direct Export of Cropped Video Without Project Ratio Constraints

Problem

Description:
Please add an option to export a cropped video as-is, without requiring a manual change to the project’s aspect ratio and without adding black bars.

Problem:
Currently in editors like Filmora, when I crop a video (for example, to focus on a specific part of the frame), the export still follows the project’s default aspect ratio (like 16:9). As a result, black bars are automatically added around the cropped video to fit that ratio unless I manually change the project settings, which is inconvenient and unintuitive.

In contrast, mobile apps like InShot (Android) allow you to crop a video and export it exactly with the cropped dimensions, no matter what the project aspect ratio is—no black bars, no extra steps. I can manually drag and crop the video frame and then export just that cropped portion, exactly as it looks, which is very efficient

Example Use Case:
🎮 I record retro gameplay on my PC in full-screen (16:9), but the actual games often run in unique aspect ratios like 1:1 or 4:3. I just want to crop the game window and export only that—no black bars, no fuss.

😂 I sometimes crop memes or short clips from social media, and they rarely follow standard aspect ratios like 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or 4:3. Being able to manually drag, crop, and export exactly the area I need (no matter the ratio) is super helpful.

Solution

Proposed Solution:

• Add a setting or checkbox in the crop tool or export menu like:
  ✅ “Export Cropped Area Only”
  This would let users export the exact area they’ve selected with no black bars or forced resizing.
• Automatically adjust the export resolution to match the cropped area’s actual dimensions, instead of snapping it to the project’s ratio.
• Optionally: Show a live preview of the final resolution based on the crop selection, so users know what they’re exporting.

Alternative

Alternative Solutions Considered:

• Adding padding or background fill (like black bars or blur) to fit the project’s aspect ratio. This keeps the original ratio, but ruins the visual focus and isn’t ideal for things like memes or gameplay highlights.
• Using other apps like InShot (Android) that let you export only the cropped area without any project ratio settings. While useful, these aren’t available on desktop or don’t have advanced editing features.

Anything else?

InShot (Android) Example:
Allows me to manually drag and crop any area (even non-standard aspect ratios like 2.35:1 or meme-style crops), and exports only the selected portion—no black bars, no need to adjust global settings.
→ A smoother and faster experience, especially for quick edits or non-standard formats.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the crop tool and export menu in the TypeScript project; done means exporting the selected crop at its dimensions without black bars or project-ratio constraints.
