Frequently asked questions

How do you crop a video?

VSCO video editor lets you crop videos on iPhone or Android. Simply select a video, open the Adjust tool, and use the crop options to trim or refine your framing.

What’s the difference between cropping and trimming a video?

Crop changes what’s visible in the frame by removing edges — helping you reframe your video or fit a specific aspect ratio. Trim, on the other hand, cuts time by changing the beginning or end of your video. Crop adjusts the visual composition, while trim edits the duration.

How to crop for social media (Instagram, YouTube, etc.)?

VSCO is built for cropping video to fit any platform. Choose from popular preset aspect ratios like 1:1 for Instagram or 16:9 for YouTube, or free crop to frame your footage exactly how you want.

What is video crop aspect ratio?

Aspect ratio refers to the relationship between your video’s width and height. With VSCO, you can quickly apply popular ratios made for social platforms, or freehand crop a custom ratio for more exact framing.

How to crop a video to 16:9?

VSCO is designed for precise video cropping on iPhone and Android. Select your video, use the Adjust tool to select the 16:9 aspect ratio, and move the frame to fit your composition perfectly.

What is the difference between crop and resize?

Cropping a video removes edges to reframe your shot, while resizing adjusts the dimensions without cutting any part of the frame. Though often confused, they serve different purposes—and with VSCO’s crop tool, you get full control to fine-tune your video’s composition.
