Preview/Crop before Cropping:

ffplay -vf "crop=x:y:w:h" OUTPUT.webm

The x:y is optional but it will default to 0,0 as starting point.

Preview/Crop Specific Time Frame:

ffplay -ss 5 -t 8 -vf "crop=500:500" OUTPUT.webm

Start at 5 second mark and play for 8 seconds.

[! ] Simply replace ffplay with ffmpeg -i INPUTFILE to get an actual crop.
