Frequently Asked Questions

Can I crop a video to a specific aspect ratio?
Yes. Set the width and height to your desired ratio. Common ratios: 1920x1080 (16:9), 1080x1080 (1:1 square), 1080x1920 (9:16 vertical). Use the X/Y offset to position the crop area.
Can I remove black bars from a video?
Yes. Set the crop dimensions to exclude the black bars. For example, if a 1920x1080 video has 100px black bars top and bottom, crop to 1920x880 with Y offset 100.
Does cropping reduce video quality?
The video is re-encoded during cropping with high-quality H.264 settings. The visual quality remains excellent. The file size may change depending on the crop dimensions.
