Resize and crop videos with Cloudinary
You can resize and crop videos on the fly with Cloudinary by including transformation parameters in the delivery URL, for example c_fill,h_600,w_600 to fill a 600 x 600 pixel square with the video. |

Use automatic gravity
When videos are cropped using c_fill , the center of the video is focused on by default. This may not always be the most interesting part of the video, so to fix this, use automatic gravity (g_auto ). |
Use compass points for gravity
You can also use compass points for gravity, such as g_west , which will focus on the left-most part of the video in the crop. |
