Steps to Trim, Cut, Crop, or Split Video on iPhone

What is the difference between trim, cut, crop, or split video files? 

1. Trim: This has to do with taking off the beginning part or end part of a video.
2. Cut: This function removes a section of the video completely without regaining it compared to trimming, where you can get back the trimmed-out clip.
3. Crop: Cropping resize the video frame to a standard one that lets you share and post it without complications.
4. Split: The split function divides the video into segments. The clips are not lost but rather just separated.

So that vlog ran too long, yeah? Or they were scenes you were cut off guard while filming.

Embarrassing moments that need to be cut or your favorite scenes that need to be split and framed in the hall of fame.

Regardless of the motive, videos are always undergoing constant editing.

Humans aren’t generally perfect, hence our filming can’t be perfect.

That's why video editing tools are on emergency speed dial.

Videos go through the trim, cut, crop, or split function every day before being released.

Now those functions are what bring out the perfection in the filming flaw.

Filming a video is an innate skill you get after few trials and fails, however, the real deal is editing the footage.

You either over-edit or under-edit the footage.

Removing your favorite scenes or, accidentally leaving awkward clips that should have been cut.
