kdenlivevideo-editor
Simply I'm wanting to create music visualization videos for songs I make for youtube (like a stereoscope). I know it can be done using templates for Adobe After Effects on Windows machines. Is there any software / plugins for Ubuntu that would provide this? I use Kdenlive for general video editing but it doesn't look like it provides the kind of functionality for this requirement. I've googled quite a bit but to no avail.
Something like this:

Suggest use OpenShot as per this step by step:
Cropping a video can be done multiple ways in Kdenlive.
One way is to set the project to the desired size then set the video to original size so that only the cropped part is visible in the project.
How to do it:
Then click on create new profile.
Change the profile settings as required in your case make it 900x690.
Click on adjust to original size in the effect settings.
Change the X and Y to adjust the position of the cropped region as desired.

There is a standalone program with lots of variables to tweak: cthugha
The tricky part is that is's really old, last release 1999 - but I think is was pretty independent of libraries, even has a DOS version - so it's possible it will still run on modern linux.
The original ftp server seems to be down, but you can find the Llinux version as "cthugha-L-1.4.tar.gz" with Google.
