What You Can Do
Use presets
16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 and 4:3, ready for widescreen, Reels, Shorts and feeds.
Crop freely
Drag any frame, or match the shape of your project.
Crop clip by clip
Different clips in the same project can have their own crop.
Trim at the same time
Cut the length in the same editor before you export.
Export up to 4K
MP4, MOV or WebM at 4K, 2K, 1080p or 720p, with the fps and quality you choose.
No watermark
The exported video is yours, with nothing added to it.
What It Doesn't Do
A couple of limits to keep in mind.
- The editor doesn't rotate videos, so footage shot sideways needs fixing elsewhere first.
- Cropping removes pixels. Cropping heavily, then exporting at 4K, can't add back detail.
