You can’t crop a 5DS image to match a 1DX image. Both have “full frame” sensors but the 1DX has fewer, larger pixels. You CAN crop a 5DS image to (closely) match a 7D2 image, which I believe Artie has done here.

It’s not uncommon to see landscapers holding up various mats sizes for a window to a particular aspect or crop size. It helps to visualize the image opportunities. Useful even for stationary wildlife shots. Actual cropping on the fly for live view video use will result in smaller files, and possibly let advantages of that are obvious.
