Question:
How do I crop to a different aspect ratio when clipping?
Answer:
This can be done by using our clipping interface (instructions below).
- Playback the recording that you are wanting to clip.
- Mark your clipping start and end points in the video, and click the scissors icon just like you normally would when creating a clip.
- Select the option to Clip and Transform from the clipping interface.
- Select the Aspect ratio that you want from the Cropping Type drop down menu.
- Move and/or resize the cropping box to the size and position that you want maintained throughout the video.
- Specify the rest of your clipping options, and click the Clip button.
- Keep Clip: This determines whether you want to keep the original clip that you are creating before it is transformed (transcoded) to the cropped version that you are making.
- File Format, and Quality is for specifying what transcoding settings will be used for the canvas that you are cropping from.
- Folder: Specifies what SnapStream Video folder this clip will be saved.
Additional Notes:
Wherever you place the cropping box, that position will be maintained throughout the entirety of the cropped version of the clip that you are creating.
Applies to Version:
SnapStream 9.0 and above.
