About Batch and Interactive Editor

How to use Interactive Editor

  1. Open Batch originals as a sequence, or choose Edit in editor to also carry your current settings.
  2. Select a clip to trim, split, slip, set speed, frame the picture or mix its sound. Add tracks, titles, images and music; Undo keeps changes reversible.
  3. Export MP4/WebM or explicitly save a project to keep originals and tracks editable. A recipe repeats the arrangement in either workflow mode.

Mode switching resumes independent sessions. Editor output uses one frame size up to a 1,920 px longest side / 30 fps, and re-encodes frames. Batch retains its existing fast operations and limits. Trim/Crop Batch still edit one video at a time.

Editor limits: 20 sources / 1 GB total, videos up to 500 MB and 15 minutes each, audio up to 50 MB / 15 minutes, 30-minute output. Saved projects include originals and their metadata. Recipes contain only settings and generic source slots; nothing is saved automatically.

How it works

How to crop a video in Batch

  1. Add one MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM video up to 500 MB.
  2. Pick an aspect ratio, then drag the frame or its edges over the picture. Move the Frame slider to check other moments; the crop applies to the whole video.
  3. Click Crop video, play the result and download it. Use Also to trim, rotate, resize, compress or mute in the same pass.

Try a vertical crop without stretching the picture

Download the 12-second practice MP4, a public synthetic video with labelled moving shapes and a quiet tone. Add it above, choose 9:16 under Aspect ratio and drag the crop frame over the shape you want to keep.

Move the Frame slider to the beginning, middle and end before clicking Crop video. One fixed frame applies throughout: it does not automatically follow a moving subject. Play the result to check that the subject stays inside it.

Cropping removes the outer picture. To keep the whole scene and change only its pixel dimensions, use Resize Video.

Frequently asked questions

Useful details

5 answers
Can I arrange clips on a timeline?

Yes. Interactive Editor offers tracks, trim/split/slip, per-clip speed, framing, titles and audio mixing. Edit in editor carries Batch originals and settings. Each mode retains its own session.

Which ratio should I use?

9:16 is the full-screen vertical format for Reels, TikTok, Shorts and Stories. 1:1 and 4:5 fill most of a feed. 16:9 suits YouTube, presentations and TVs.

Can I crop a vertical phone video to landscape?

Yes. Choose 16:9 and move the frame to the part you want to keep. The result is narrower in height, as no pixels are invented.

Does cropping lower the quality?

The kept area is re-encoded at a high quality. The result has fewer pixels than the original because the outside has been removed.

Is my video uploaded?

No. The frame, the crop and the encoding all happen in your browser on this device.
