Body: <p>for the past 48 hours I tried to crop the black bars of a 2048x1152 (16:9) video to a 1.85:1 aspect ratio (which is 2048x1107) so that the encoded video shows exactly what is meant to be.</p>
  <p>First problem:
  2048x1107 (1.85:1) is not common but is it basically possible to create?
  Can i encode with libx264 with an odd number value like 1107?</p>
  <p>Second problem:
  If not, how can I make a crop &amp; resize encode in one sitting?
  Means...
  Cropping 2048x1152 (16:9) to 2048x1107 (1.85) AND resizing the 2048x1107 (1.85, uncommon) to 1998x1080  (2K DCP FLAT)</p>
  <p>I only manage to get a 1998x1080 (1.85:1) with too much cropped on all sides... :/</p>
  <p>Thanks for you help, guys!</p>

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-06-24)
  
  for the past 48 hours I tried to crop the black bars of a 2048x1152 (16:9) video to a 1.85:1 aspect ratio (which is 2048x1107) so that the encoded video shows exactly what is meant to be.
  
  First problem:
  2048x1107 (1.85:1) is not common but is it basically possible to create?
  Can i encode with libx264 with an odd number value like 1107?
  
  Second problem:
  If not, how can I make a crop & resize encode in one sitting?

  You can carry out the changes in one command by chaining the respective filters.
  
  Basic syntax is
  
  ```
  ffmpeg -i input -vf "crop=2048:1107:exact=1,scale=1998:1080,setsar=1" -c:a copy out.mp4
  
  ```
