I like Flixier because I can use it anywhere I go and I don`t need a lot of computer requirements but great internet connection. I like how fast it is when it comes to rendering videos and still have the opportunity to continue or start another project while waiting. I appreciate the continuous updates and adjustments because it is necessary for a video editing tool.
My main criteria for an editor was that the interface is familiar and most importantly that the renders were in the cloud and super fast. Flixier more than delivered in both. I've now been using it daily to edit Facebook videos for my 1M follower page.

What I like most about Flixier is the flexibility to edit the captions, both in terms of the text and the time where it starts and finish showing it. It gives you full control.
This online free program was extremely easy to use, implement, and integrate into my 9-12th grade tech classes. The projects turned out great and were easy to export. I liked having multiple ways to upload pictures. The software was also easy to understand.

Does cropping a video on YouTube affect quality?

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.
