1. How to crop, rotate, flip videos in CapCut

1.1 Trim video

If you’re looking to crop a video’s frame to get closer to the main subject, or remove unimportant content, use CapCut’s Crop tool.

Step 1: Open the CapCut app on your phone, select New project.

Step 2: Select the video you want to edit, press More.

Step 3: You’ve now arrived at CapCut’s video editing screen in the form of a timeline.

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

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

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

The slider has zero degrees to help you adjust the tilt of the frame.

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

Step 6: When you get the frame you like, click Sign v to apply the change. Or if you need to re-align from scratch, select Set again.

Step 7: Click Arrow mark 2 times to return to the original editing screen.

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: Select a screen format suitable for the video you just cut.

1.2 Rotate, flip videos

Rotating and flipping videos doesn’t have as many customizations as cropping. You just have to come back to Edit to see 3 options Reflection (flip), Turn and Cut.

Now try with the function Reflect to reverse the original image.

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