Edit the size, focal point and aspect ratio of your assets in seconds using the freehand crop tool in Clipchamp.
“Freehand” refers to using your cursor to freely change the asset in the preview instead of relying on any presets. Crop videos, images, stickers, GIFs, and even change the aspect ratio of an asset with freehand crop.
Step 1. Select the asset you want to crop
In the timeline, click on the asset you want to crop. The floating toolbar will appear above the video on the stage.
Step 2. Select the crop button then drag the handles
Click on the crop button in the floating toolbar to freehand cropp your video.
Cropping handles will appear in the corners and edges of your preview video. Use your cursor to click and drag the handles in and out to change the size and aspect ratio of your asset.
Step 3. Undo, start over or finalize your cropping
If you want to undo a crop you made, click the undo button at the left end of the timeline.
If you want to start your cropping from the start, click the revert to original button in the floating toolbar.
Once you're happy with your new crop, click on the tick or done button to apply your freehand crop. The changes apply to the selected asset in the timeline only.
