I wanted to crop a 1280x960 (4:3) video to a 1280x720 (16:9) video. Had to do manually the calculation of the percentage to crop.
Height: 133%
Y: 16%

But the exact crop should be 133.33333% because 960/720 = 1.33333. And
Y: should be 33.3333/2. OpenShot only support an integer percentage. I
like the idea to give (also) exact pixel values. It would be nice if I
can draw the two rectangles Start Clip - End Clip with two different
colors as in iMovie, with the option to specify a particular aspect
ratio (original aspect ratio or a new one or none).

Title:
  More user friendly crop and zoom interface

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  OpenShot need a little tweak on the Layout tab of the clip properties.

  The ideal could be a mouse drag and drop system to ajust the crop
  level. Like adjusting a square that represent the screen, because we
  can barely view the difference on the preview screen what is the
  "real" black border of the clip

  and the zoom should be using the same king of trick the alpha use but
  with the possibility to go from -200 to 200 % and if you want a
  specific number a box should be added at the end of that.

  In Keyframe we can choose the start and the end. If we want a constant
  level an option should be added to avoid to refill the informations
  twice. (like a checkbox "Use keyframes ?")

  It can open a new way to add keyframe too, with an "edit keyframe
  fonction" on the preview screen.

  Oh I almost forgot, after every change of every values on the layout
  tab, the preview image should be refresh. Because we have to tweak
  with the play button to refresh the preview.

  Keep up the good work ! I love that great video editor !
