In this comprehensive tutorial video, we will show you how to crop a video using Animoto's online video cropper. Discover how to crop your videos online with ease, whether you're looking to crop a video for social media, crop an MP4 file, or simply adjust your media to fit our video layouts.

Start off by uploading your media or browsing our stock library. If your personal library is running thin, you can pull photos and videos from our Getty Images stock library. Next, drag and drop media into a Block. If your image or video is cut off in your selected layout, you can adjust its size using the scale or cropping feature. Or, select another layout that’s better suited for your media. Pro-tip: Try out our Picture-in-Picture layouts to share multiple photos or videos in a single Block. Finally, select the photo or video you’d like to crop. Click the Scale button and use the slider to zoom in or out on your selected media. Or, click and drag the media to reposition it and align it in the frame. Crop videos and photos to remove the background and focus on the main subject.

Follow these tips when cropping your videos. First, identify what you want to show. Before cropping your videos with Animoto, take a moment to plan your composition. Consider the story or message you want to convey and identify the key elements or moments that support it. Next, try different layouts. In addition to our cropping, trimming, and aspect ratio tools, Animoto offers different layouts to help you showcase your media in different ways. Finally, don't forget about the undo button. Make an edit that didn't come out the way you hoped it would? Click undo to revert your media back to its previous state and try again, no harm done.
