Well... if you have Photoshop CS4, you can save yourself a few steps by merely cropping it within Photoshop. It can be done... easily... and more quickly.
Here's how:
Open Photoshop and go to File > Open as Smart Object and in the drop down, select "Enable Quicktime Movie." Find your file. Take the rectangular marquee tool and draw a box around your video (leaving out the parts you want to omit, ie., the letterbox). Go to Image>Crop. Then go to File>Export>Render Video and save it. Ta da! :)

Is there any way for me to add pillarboxes? I have a widescreen video I want to attach to a full screen video, and keep the aspect ratio of the latter in the process.

I tried this method and failed. I have a video of size 640x480 and i want to crop it to be 320x480. I apply the mask and it seems to be reflecting in the Quick TIme properly, but when i export it, it gives me a 352x288 video. Any idea what's going on? I appreciate any help. Note that i'm using Quick Time 7.

@satanhasswagger I'm a JIFF person and so were the people who originally developed it.
