With each subsequent release of iOS, the Cupertinos are implementing new functionality, thanks to which we can abandon many free and paid analogs from the App Store, being content with regular applications. In this article, we will tell you how to crop a video using the standard "Photos" application on iPhone and iPad.

Frankly, when I was offered to write this material, I immediately thought that to trim the video, you need to install the free iMovie program, which does an excellent job with video editing, completely forgetting about "Photos". The native iOS viewer has a great tool that is perfect for our task.
How to crop video on iPhone and iPad using Photos
1. Open " Photos ".
2. In the " Albums " tab, go to the " Videos " folder or find a video in another way convenient for you.

3. Open the video and click the " Edit " button in the upper right corner.

4. At the bottom of the display, click on the camera icon, a storyboard will appear, and in the left and right corners of the arrows, which you can drag to shorten or increase the length of the footage. When you start working with them, the ribbon will turn yellow. If necessary, you can reproduce the resulting section.

5. Click the Finish button and choose the Save Video As New or Save Video action. Be careful with the second point, because incorrectly cropping the video can lose valuable frames. It is much better to save "as new" and delete the original separately. This will keep it in the basket for 30 days.

Done!
