Crop

Crop your recording

1. Press ⇧C, or open the Frame tab (⌘6) and click Crop… in the Crop row under Around your screen.
2. The preview shows the whole recording with the crop on top. Drag a corner or an edge to resize it, and drag inside it to move it.
3. Click Done, or press ↩.

To leave without changing anything, click Discard or press esc. The whole crop is one undo step.

Handy keys

• Hold ⇧ while dragging to keep the shape.
• Hold ⌥ to resize from the centre.
• Hold ⌘ to turn snapping off. Edges snap to the recording's edges, its thirds and its middle.
• Press the arrow keys to nudge by a pixel, or ⇧ and an arrow for ten.

Shapes and exact numbers

Aspect in the bar under the preview locks the crop to a shape: Free, Fill frame (whatever fills the video's frame), Original, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 4:5 or 9:16.

Type into W, H, X and Y to set the size and position in pixels. The reset button goes back to the whole recording.

Undo a crop

Click the reset arrow in the Crop row of the Frame tab, or open crop mode and click reset. Crops are never saved in a preset, so each project keeps its own.
