title: FFMPEG scale and crop in single command
body: <p>I'm using FFMPEG on Android using the following lib: <a href="http://writingminds.github.io/ffmpeg-android-java/" rel="nofollow">http://writingminds.github.io/ffmpeg-android-java/</a></p>
  
  <p>This is the command I'm using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"-i " + path + " -vf scale=480:360,crop=360:360:0:00 -strict -2  -preset ultrafast " + fileOutPath
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My goal of this is to scale the image down to 480x360, then crop it to 360x360 from (0,0) (top left corner). HOWEVER, what ends up happening is that it crops from the vertical-center. So for example if you were to take a vide of three blocks on top of each other filling the entire screen, the crop would eventually show just the middle block, whereas I desire the top block.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>My ultimate goal from all of this is to get a square video of size 360x360.</p>
