- Enter the specific pixels to crop from top/bottom/left/right as you like. In the Croppadd settings, enter the number of pixels that you want to crop out of the video. You can do this for all four directions.
- Once you have set the crop values, head over to the Filters tab once more, and tick the Video Scaling Filter. Hit Save.
- The next step is to add the video file that you want to crop. To do this, click on the Media Tab, click on Convert/Save option, and then hit the Add button. This will open the File browser, from where you can import the video file that you want to crop.
- Finally, let’s save the cropped file. Click on the Browse button, select the Destination Folder, and then click on Convert/Save button. This will Save the cropped video file in the selected destination folder.
