Feature Request: Auto-Crop

[bigdwg71]

Tools like FFMPEG and Handbrake offer automatic detection of black bars (top and bottom, or left and right) and can define the crop based on that. I wrote a python script that uses the Handbrake CLI to define the crop that I then feed into NVENCC, but it would be great if NVENCC could just natively do this. Thanks for your consideration.

By using Staxrip you can use without problem by 2 way :

1/ Encode with NVEnc in Staxrip and using plug-in "Crop" (integrated), you have auto-crop or (i prefer) Smart Crop for a manual settings with video

2/ If you prefer encode on command line NVEnc (like me) but just have the crop values, just open your video on Staxrip > (On bar top) Crop > Menu > Crop Options > Image > Crop > Read the crop values (read from top left > bottom left > top right > bottom right) and put value in your NVenc line. Exemple

NVEncC64.exe -i C:\Users\User\Videos\XYZ.mkv --codec h265 --preset quality --profile main10 --output-depth 10 --lookahead 32 --mv-precision Q-pel --slices 1 --ref 4 --gop-len 0 --crop 252,8,246,22 -o C:\Users\User\Videos\XYZ_encoded_h265.mkv

Use staxrip with proper DAR SAR AND PAR values and auto/smart crop.
