Does cropping a video on YouTube affect quality?
When you crop a video, it's important to keep in mind that the video might lose some sharpness because there will be fewer pixels. If you're cropping a 1080p video for a vertical platform like TikTok, you shouldn't notice much of a difference in quality. For the best results, consider using an online YouTube cropper like Flixier.
Can I import and crop a YouTube video?
Absolutely! You can easily import videos by simply pasting the YouTube link and then crop them online for free using Flixier. After that, you can publish the edited video back to your YouTube channel or save it to your device as an MP4 file.
How do I crop a video from the top and bottom?
If you want to crop the top and bottom of your YouTube video, you can easily do it using an online YouTube video cropper like Flixier. Just copy the link to your video, paste it into Flixier, and then drag it down to the timeline. You can use the Crop sliders to adjust how much you want to crop from the top and bottom. When you're finished, you can publish it back to your YouTube channel or save it as an MP4 on your device.
Can I post the video directly to YouTube?
Yes, after cropping and editing, you can publish your video directly to YouTube from Flixier without downloading it first.
Can I crop multiple videos at once?
You can crop multiple videos within the same project by adding them to the editable timeline and editing each clip individually before exporting.
