If however you wish to capture only part of that incoming feed (perhaps because you then

In addition to the left, top, width and height parameters there is also a Snap to Input button.
This automatically sets the width and height to match the full size of the incoming video
feed.
Active Area
On the canvas, the Active Area is indicated by the pale grey area with a dashed border ("The
canvas with the Active Area shown by a dashed border." on the next page). Settings are
found on the Geometry section of the Input tab.
