Linux Video Editing

Hi - Does anyone know a simple way to crop video under linux. I have tried Kino and Pitivi but neither can do it as far as I can tell. I need to be able to cut the video down to only a portion of the image similar to cropping in still image editing (NOT just cutting timed sections out of the video).

Any ideas?

I think Cinelerra can do it but it's a hell of a learning curve.

Openshot
(Watch the video before installing as it uses other programs too)

Or that - it's very easy to use, i didn't know you could use it to crop

I looked at Cinelerra but its going to take a bit of learning. I'll give Openshot a go.

Thanks

EDIT - Just realised I already had openshot installed.. and I can't see a crop function there, are you sure Outcast?
