Crop or scale?
Crop would remove part of your picture and scale you would keep all of it. 
If cropping there are two ways (that I know of). The way denzjos showed you or you could rectangle select the area you want and go to the top menu that says 'Image' and crop to selection.

Thank you for any information

If you really want to crop a 1280x720 area from the image (rather than scaling the image to this size) you can select the "Fixed" option in the crop tool options dialog, then from the drop-down box next to "Fixed" select "Size" then enter the size in the box below as 1280x720
