Even though you are cropping what looks like part of the picture, you are really not, as that part of the picture could just as easily be black pixels: it would make no difference.

good point! Just do the top and bottom crop before the stabilization, the sides after the stabilization and you should be fine.

I have actually cropped both before. I don't see the need to wait after until after stabilization to crop the sides (unless I am missing something, which I might well be). One might as well stabilize a (slightly) smaller image and 704x288 is still mod16. Thanks! :-)

You need to crop after stabilization because the whole image is being moved from side to side during that process, which will leave you with a shifting border of black pixels and 'image' pixels. AFAI understand it.
