While that’s fine for a single video, I wouldn’t want to have to put up with that regularly. I tried it with a .mov someone sent me and it cropped it just fine.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I found a decent guide on using VLC for cropping and other video manipulation here: <a href="https://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/vlc-video-editor.html">https://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/vlc-video-editor.html</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The guides I found wee not clear on where to find the cropped video. It looks like the default location on a Windows PC is the Videos folder, but you could set a different default before you did the cropping. If you are working in Linux or some other OS like the Apple Linux variants, I’m unsure whether the instructions hold.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">-----------------------------------<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">All the best,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Al Fuller<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> Shop-talk <shop-talk-bounces@autox.team.net> <b>On Behalf Of </b>john niolon<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, October 17, 2024 4:24 AM<br><b>To:</b> shop-talk <shop-talk@autox.team.net><br><b>Subject:</b> [Shop-talk] video editor software<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">I made a iPhone video (,mov file) that I need to edit the length... cut out the beginning and end and save the juicy part in the middle</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">anyone suggest a program/app that works...
