Many Mac users, including content creators, vloggers, filmmakers, and social media enthusiasts, frequently crop videos to adjust their size, improve composition and, most importantly, remove unwanted elements. It can also be helpful when preparing videos for presentations, websites, or specific devices. For example, cropping a video into a square will help to save space on the presentation slide.
