Cropping Video Clips

Follow the steps below to crop out and zoom into parts of your video clips:

1. Right-click on the clip in the Timeline

2. Select the Crop and Zoom option from the menu or click the Crop icon to open the Crop and
Zoon panel.

3. In the pop-up window, move and adjust the rectangle to surround the area you want to
crop. You can also choose the pre-set from the following pre-set dimensions: 16:9, 4:3, 1:1
or 9:16.

Pan & Zoom
A ‘Pan’ is when the camera moves right and left (i.e. between two subjects) while filming and a
‘Zoom’ is when the camera either moves closer to one part of the frame or seems to through the use
of a zoom lens (i.e. for a close up on a character’s face). These effects, or any other camera
movements, can be simulated in Filmora9 using the Pan and Zoom feature. Here’s how:
• Drag and drop a video clip or image into a video track.
• Right-click on the video in the track and choose Crop and Zoom.
