I was wondering if it would be possible to have a setting that would prevent the automatic 16:9 crop from being applied when the Metadata is initialised.

I do my ken burns effects in Adobe After Effects and find that i keep forgetting to reset the crop, resulting in wasted time rendering videos with black lines creeping in at the edges.

It's in the settings!

So it is!! Thanks for letting me know and sorry for not looking for it first!
