Hi, Does anybody know how to send a 16:9 video stream to Wowza Cloud and transcode it so it crops the left and right portions of the video and sends a Portrait 9:16 RTMP output? Thanks Phil ---

Per the Cloud Manager, we don’t have a way for you to do that, but there may be a way to do it in Streaming Engine. Sorry we don’t have a solution for you at this time through Cloud. ---

Hello Rose, I’m also wondering if there is a way to crop a video sent to Wowza Cloud. Has the situation changed since your last reply a year ago? Thank you! ---

Not an option yet in Cloud, but you could try this in Streaming Engine- it requires a bit of custom code. It’s more easily accomplished on the player side though. Although the cloud engineer says you could try this: Set the fitMode of an output with a hidden property…that might actually do it. transcoder property output, key:fit
