How to trim a video on iPhone or iPad
Crop a video on iPhone or iPad
While trimming, you remove the start or end segments of the video. For example, you turn a 50-second video into 40 seconds. With the crop tool, you can adjust the four edges of the full video. See the steps and screenshots below to learn more.
How to flip a video on iPhone or iPad
When you flip a video, the left becomes right, and the right becomes left. This is helpful to rectify the mirrored image. See the steps and screenshot for a better understanding.
How to rotate a video on iPhone
Do you not want to rotate the video in multiples of 90 degrees (as shown above) and wish to have a free hand? Tap the two semi-circles icon and drag the slider left or right to rotate the video the way you want. Note: This tool may significantly crop out the corners of the video.
Edit any videos online on iPhone and iPad
As seen above, the Photos app does phenomenal at basic editing. However, it has some limitations. For instance, you can’t cut, edit and save the video in a specific format. Or can’t edit the video stored in Google Drive or Dropbox. This is a problem when your device doesn’t have enough storage. Well, let me introduce you to online-video-cutter.com, a fun, easy-to-use, and hassle-free way to edit videos. You can do a lot – trim, crop, flip, rotate, adjust speed, loop, add text or image, and even stabilize the video. Plus, the platform supports almost every video format, so you can import and export videos in any format of your choice. And remember, all of that is happening online; you don’t have to download an app or even a video. Oh yes! You can add the video from iPhone’s Photos app, Google Drive, Dropbox, or a URL. So, if you want to edit small videos without a third-party app and save storage space, the online-video-cutter.com is a perfect and safe solution.
