# Disabling smart crop using the MediaLive console
<a name="smart-crop-disable-console"></a>

You can use the MediaLive console to modify the disable smart crop in a channel.

**Note**  
The information in this section assumes that you are familiar with the general steps for creating a channel, as described in [Creating a channel from scratch](creating-channel-scratch.md). 

**To disable smart crop in all outputs**

1. On the **Create channel** or **Edit channel page**, choose **AWS Elemental Inference settings**. The **Smart crop** section is automatically expanded to show a list of output groups and their video outputs. 

1. Choose the appropriate action:
   + If smart crop is the only Elemental Inference feature that is enabled on this page: in **State**, choose **DISABLED**.
   + Otherwise, in the **Smart crop** section, move the slider for every output group to disabled (gray).

**To disable smart crop in individual outputs**

1. On the **Create channel** or **Edit channel page**, in the **Output groups** section, select the output that contains the video. 

1. Display the **Stream settings** section, and choose the **Video** section. 
   + Adjust the values in the **Width** and **Height** fields.
   + Open **Scaling settings**, then set **Scaling behavior** to a value other than **SMART\$1CROP**.

When you disable Elemental Inference features in a channel, MediaLive handles the resources as follows:
+ If you disable one feature among several features, MediaLive deletes the output for that feature. 
+ If you disable all the features, MediaLive deletes the feed, including its outputs. When the feed is deleted, its status changes to Archived. The feed can't become Active again.
