Crop and Resize Video

Cropping video is an effective way to remove unwanted portions from the edges of a video for smaller size and clean footage, e.g. get rid of black bar, watermark, logo, and unnecessary frame-in; to enlarge and highlight a subject from a video segment; to simultaneously display multiple video clips in the same aspect.
