   What if I don’t want to cut out the top of the video, the bottom I couldn’t care less about. How would I go about doing that?

   I did that by editing the compisition height…But i wonder, some bit of my footage is masked (right?) But why stabilization (in AE) don’t use the part that is masked to crop?

    Or you could just put a CC Jaws effect on a black solid and make the completion to about 80 and the height to 0% Thumbs up
