Crop Video

It’s impossible to control every aspect of a video while filming. As a result, most footage we shoot has unwanted areas that affect its composition. Sometimes, a finger shows. Other times, there’s a background distraction you want to remove. Yet, these elements can easily be removed by cropping the video.

In Filmora for Mobile, cropping is made effortless as the editing app lets you adjust the frame in a few steps. Try Filmora today and see how easy it is to remove unwanted elements, focus on your clip’s subject, or change the aspect ratio by cropping your video.
