So let me paint the picture for you.
I filmed a feature and because of timing I didn't really do too many cut aways. In the edit, I used a long shot of my principals to hide obvious voice over and flubs in the scene.
But now looking at it, I'm not a fan of the long shot. And with lack of cut-away shots, I'm stuck with an odd shot in the middle of the scene.
I began thinking if I could crop out the wide of the three guys in the convo and just crop to the 2 guys not doing the dialogue, that might work. I breifly used compressor to crop out the scene, re-rendering the original 7D footage. But I think the image comes out a little soft.
Anyone ever used this method successfully? I have both Apple Compressor and Adobe Media Converter.
The final output is for a feature to be submitted to a film festival?
