Capcut offers 2 ways to crop a video you can either use the free crop tool or an aspect ratio. With the free tool, you can manually adjust the crop area, and with an aspect ratio, Capcut will automatically make a crop for you depending on what ratio you use.
Free crop tool

2. Click and drag the edges and corners of the cropping box to resize the video to your liking.
3. After you’re done cropping I suggest you click on (confirm) and take a look at what it looks like using the Capcut preview window to ensure that the crop was done successfully before you export it.
aspect ratio
1. If you want to use an aspect ratio click on the arrow that points down and choose a ratio that fits you best.
2. After you choose a ratio you can position the ratio box in the cropping box if you just click and drag the ratio box. But you can’t crop it because you’re using a ratio setting. But you can make it smaller if you want if you use the edges and corners.
3. After you’re done I suggest you click on (confirm) and take a look at what it looks like using the Capcut preview window to ensure that everything looks good before you export it.
