Using the Crop option, you can reduce the size of your movie. Make sure the Crop button is selected.

Step: You can modify the section of the footage that you wish to crop down to in the popup that pops up when you click the crop button. After that, use the OK button to complete the transaction.

4. Split Video

Your video can be cut up into individual parts, and each of those clips can then be edited independently. How to do it:

Step 1: Position the Playhead over the portion of the clip that you want to divide.

5. Cut Video Clips

Step 1: Select "Cut" from the context menu that appears when you right-click on the clip you wish to cut.

Optional Steps

Step 2: Position the playhead well before a portion of the clip you wish to trim, then divide the clip in half. This will allow you to cut the segment.

Step 3: Move the playhead to the conclusion of the segment you want to cut, and then divide the track once again. After dividing the clip in half twice, you will have three separate clips at your disposal.

Step 4: You can drag the central clip to a new spot or right-click it and pick the Cut menu item.

Note: the zoom slider lets you see your history in various ways.
