$ ks-crop -4:3-crop <video-file>    --> Crop from 16:9 to 4:3 (1.33:1)
$ ks-crop -5:4-crop <video-file>    --> Crop from 16:9 to 5:4 (1.25:1)
$ ks-crop -imax-crop <video-file>   --> Crop from 16:9 to IMAX (1.43:1)

    ````
    
  * If you want to change the settings, you need to edit the `ks-crop` file and change the following variables:
  
    ```shell
    v_preset="medium"
    vcodec="libx264"
    b_vcodec="5000k"
    acodec="copy"
    v_ext="mkv"
    default_lang_audio="spa"
    ````

    $ ks-crop -5:4-crop /data/movies/Example.mkv
    ````

  * Crop from 16:9 to IMAX (1.43:1):
    
    ```shell
    $ ks-crop -imax-crop /data/movies/Example.mkv
    ````
    
_Note: Output file name will be `Example-crop.mkv`._

### Examples (Change aspect):

  * Change aspect to 16:9 (stretched):

    * (Default: 5000k) Type the bitrate (libx264): 
    * (Default: n) Do you want apply '-max_muxing_queue_size 9999' patch? (y/n): n

    * COMMAND THAT WILL BE EXECUTED:

      # Crop 'Example.mkv' from 16:9 to 4:3 (1.33:1)
      ffmpeg -i Example.mkv -vsync 1 -async 1 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 
      -filter:v "crop=ih/3*4:ih" -s 1920x1440 -c:v libx264 -profile:v high
