When it comes in handy
For example, it helps when you need to turn a horizontal clip into a 9:16 vertical frame for Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts.
It's also useful for cutting off an unwanted area or watermark on one side of the frame.
Easy with aspect presets
Pick a 1:1 (square), 16:9 (landscape), or 9:16 (portrait) preset and the region snaps to that ratio, so you can make platform-ready clips easily.

Can I make a vertical video?+

Does quality drop?+
Cropping re-encodes, so there can be a slight change. Keep quality high to stay close to the original.
