Crop video frame within a PDF

I have a PDF that contains a video and I'm trying to crop the sides of it to only show a portion of the video. I found that by using the video button I could resize the entire video, but not crop it. Is cropping possible?

Not with the inbuilt video tool - you'll need to play it using a custom Flash widget inserted using the Flash tool instead, or crop the video in an external application and use the video tool (which is far better as you're not storing data in the PDF that isn't needed).

Thanks, Dave - that's what I was afraid of. I do prefer the video tool overall though, so at least that's good we're using that. I'll see if I can find someone to edit this video for me!
