Step 2: Accessing the Crop Tool

After uploading your video, it’s time to start cropping:

• If needed, you can also rotate the video within the crop screen.
• CapCut offers custom cropping options based on popular aspect ratios like TikTok (9:16), YouTube (16:9), Instagram posts (1:1), and more. This feature is especially handy if you’re creating content for specific platforms and want to ensure your video fits perfectly.

Once you’ve made the necessary adjustments:
