By default, CapCut will automatically add a video ending for you at the end, select this and Delete it.

Step 4: Now, select your clip. Then, in the bottom menu, swipe left to find Edit . Continue selecting Cut .

Step 5: This is where you can freely crop the frame however you want (in Free mode). Drag the white line to the inner area of ​​the video to crop the image.

The slider has a number of 0 degrees to help you adjust the tilt of the frame.

If necessary, you can choose a certain frame format to crop to standard, including: 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:3.

Step 6: When you get the frame you like, click on the v-shaped mark to apply the changes. Or if you need to re-align from the beginning, select Reset .

Now you may notice that the video after being cut will leave black parts. To remove them, scroll the menu to the left and select Format .

Step 8: Choose a screen format suitable for the video you just cut.

1.2 Rotate and flip videos

Rotating and flipping videos does not have as many customizations as cutting. Just go back to Edit to see the three options Reflect (flip) , Rotate and Crop .

Now, try the Reflection function to turn the image upside down compared to the original.

On the other hand, a single tap of Rotate will cause your video to be rotated 90 degrees horizontally. Your image will be cropped into a square because the aspect ratio is not correct. You just need to reinstall Format as instructed above.
