[quote=Pritchard Studios]First, set the project settings to 16:9.
Then, click the little symbol in the bottom right of the video that brings up the cropping menu.[/quote]
Click the "Lock Aspect Ratio" button on the left of the crop window. Right click on the video, and click "Match Output Aspect". That will change the video to 16:9 (if you project settings are 16:9). This way, you don't have to eyeball the scale of everything, it will be exactly 19:9.

I always crop my footage. It really doesn't take that long. However, I do wish there was a way to mass crop every clip.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[No, there's no way to just do a straight crop across the board. 
But like OldScratch said, you want to crop each frame by itself to get the best framing. 
And even then, it doesn't take that long...*

And you don't want to export and crop that, remember that every time you export/render something, it may loose just a tiny bit of quality. Plus then you have to chop that up into tiny pieces to edit.

*Remember, this is stop-motion that you're into. Nothing goes quickly, and everything needs to be hand-done or else it'll look bad.]]></content>

Lock the aspect ratio to something 16:9, then resize the cropping selection to show as much of the video as possible without getting any black lines. 

Does that help?
If not, I'll add more details later.]]></content>
