Center Crop

Crops the video to the specified dimensions by centering the crop window on the frame.

video-center-crop is a back-compat alias for fit=crop. For new integrations, use fit=crop instead.

video-center-crop accepts a boolean value. When set to true, Imgix crops the video to the dimensions specified by w and h, using the center of the frame as the crop anchor.

Both w and h must be set for video-center-crop to take effect. If the source aspect ratio differs from the target, the video is first scaled to the minimum size that fills the target dimensions, then cropped to fit.

To steer the crop toward an edge or a specific point instead of the center, use the crop gravity parameter (e.g. fit=crop&crop=top) or focal point control (crop=focalpoint with fp-x / fp-y).

This is distinct from fit=smart-crop, which uses AI to identify a focal point before cropping. Center crop always anchors to the geometric center of the frame.
