Question / Help Size VS Bounding Box Size?

Lets say I have a 1280x720 source. In the Scene Item Transform (Edit Transform) screen, if I want to resize this source down to 1216x684, I can do it one of two ways...

I can change the size itself to 1216x684, or I can change the bounding box size to 1216x684.

Is there a preferred way to do this? Advantages or disadvantages to either method?
 
Enabling bounding box allows you to control how the source is placed/sized within that bounding box. It also overrides the source's original sizing.

If bounding box is off, the source can resize itself spontaneously (with whatever scaling or aspect changes you have preserved).

If bounding box is on, it will only resize and position itself relative to the bounding box, and according to the settings being used for the bounding box. The size of the bounding box will never change, and always stays at what you set it to.

For example, you can have is always in the center of the bounding box, or you can have it always in the center and always scales to the boundaries of the bounding box while preserving aspect ratio. Or, you can have the source always stretch to the size of the bounding box, overriding its internal size and aspect ratio entirely.

The bounding box is just used to control the orientation/position of the source relative to your custom boundaries.

While the text will only resize and position itself relative to the bounding box, when it gets longer, it goes out of the bounding box.
Is there a way to Not Display the content that's out of the bounding box other than manually Crop the content?

(I have this problem because when I have a scrolling text, and I want to keep the display area, the font height, ratio of each letter fixed when I edit the text.
The best solution, for now, is to manually crop the text so the leftover is right the length of the display area.
Any better solutions?
Thanks!)

Solution found when looking at another post.
Use filter, Crop/Pad, uncheck Relative, and set the displayed text size.

However, still wondering, is there a way to Not Display the content that's out of the bounding box ? Thanks!
