Help with cropping individual video scenes, PLEASE

[NCGigi1967]

Hey Y'all, 

I really need help with Adobe Express Premium regarding CROPPING videos, but only ONE SCENE at a time. I have a 46 second video of my Granddaughter's softball game that is a keeper. However I'm very far away from the action (to avoid the fencing around the field), and I need to crop so much of the extraneous surroundings to focus on the action around the bases. When I try to crop, the entire video get cropped and that's not good. I know there's a way to do it, but the explanation is terrible and I am brand new to Adobe Express! Long story short, wayyy too late I know, is there ANYONE who can help me? I'd appreciate is sooo much and wouldn't mind if you explained it to me like I'm a child 😂 Thanks in advance!!

Hi @NCGigi1967,

Hi there! You’re doing great — happy to help!

In Adobe Express, the crop tool applies to the entire video, but you can crop individual scenes by splitting the video first. Here’s how:

1. Split the video: Move the playhead to where you want a new crop and click the scissors icon to split.

2. Select the scene you just split.

3. Crop that scene only — the crop will now apply just to that part.

4. Repeat for other parts of the video.

This way, you can zoom in on the action in each scene. Let us know if you’d like a quick guide — we’re here for you! 😊
