After cropping to only capture part of a window, there's black space still above or below the capture. I saw one can click on the Source and Transform and then Stretch to fit it to the captured area, but is there a way to shrink the captured area instead? Is one limited to standardized sizes such as 16:9? Thanks!
After cropping, eliminate blank space without stretching source

As you gather, the black space means your capture window is of a different ration than apparently what you want. You obviously can't change 1 ration to another without stretching, or further cropping.... no magic
depending on what you are doing, one option would be to Edit Transform, and manually enter in your capture space/dimensions (manually calculating the screen ration you desire (be that 16:9 or whatever)). Then, with the window frame of desired target size
- move, without resizing it into position
- change the underlying window if possible/need be to fit

To record a cropped source that is smaller than the canvas unscaled, first reset the transform to undo any stretching/scaling: right-click the source->Transform->Reset transform.
Then make sure the source looks exactly as you want it, cropped correctly and the size you want it.
Finally, to get rid of the black borders around the source, right-click the source->Resize Output (source size). This will change the canvas and output resolution to the current source size, so there is neither black bars nor any scaling needed to fill the canvas. Aspect ratio is also not enforced to 16x9 - the video is made exactly the source size.

not sure what auto-corrected 'ratio' to 'ration' more than once... sorry for not noticing at the time
