When cropping videos in Premiere Pro, you should use the "Crop" function in "Motion". The specific steps are as follows: 1. Select the video clip on the timeline and open the "Effect Controls" panel; 2. Expand the "Motion" option, click "Crop" and drag the four-direction slider to crop; 3. If the picture becomes smaller after cropping, adjust the screen to enlarge the screen; 4. You can adjust the screen position with "Position" to optimize composition; 5. When cropping in batches, you can achieve unified settings by copying and pasting properties. Cropping will not change the resolution and scale, but excessive cropping may lead to black edges, so you need to pay attention to symmetrical operations or appropriate scaling. Practical applications include scenarios such as adapting to horizontal and vertical screen proportions and highlighting the main body.
Cropping videos is actually not difficult in Premiere Pro, but many newbies tend to confuse the differences between functions such as "cropping", "zooming" and "position" at the beginning. If you want to adjust the content displayed on the screen, such as removing the black edges around, changing the composition, or focusing on a certain part, you need to use the "Crop" function in "Motion". Next, I will explain how to operate it in a few steps.

How to find video cropping options
Select the video clip you want to process on the timeline and open the "Effect Controls" panel (if not, you can call it out in the window menu). Find the "Motion" item inside, and after expanding, you will see a button called "Crop". Click it and crop sliders will appear in four directions: Top, Bottom, Left, Right.

At this time, you can cut unnecessary parts of the screen by dragging these four values. For example, if you want to remove the excess blank area on the left side of the screen, just pull the "Left" value to the right a little.
Tip: Cropping will not change the size or resolution of the video itself, it will just cut off part of it from the original screen. So if you cut too much, the black area outside the edges may be exposed unless you adjust the "Scale" at the same time to fill the screen.

Frequently Asked Questions and Precautions when Cutting
What should I do if the picture becomes smaller after cutting?
At this time, you can appropriately increase the "Scale" value, enlarge the screen a little, and let the cut part fill the screen again.Will cropping affect the video proportion?
The scale will not be automatically changed, but if you cut it asymmetrically, it may cause the picture to look crooked. It is recommended to keep the left/upper and down symmetrical cropping unless you have special needs.Can you still move the screen position while cropping?
Can! There is also a "Position" option in "Motion", which you can use to fine-tune the position of the screen, and the effect is better when used in combination with cropping.
Examples of practical application scenarios
For example, you took a vertical video, but you wanted to put it in a horizontal screen project. At this time, you can cut off both sides, retain only the main picture content in the middle, and zoom in slightly to adapt to the horizontal screen proportion.
Or you are doing interview videos, and the background is a bit messy and you want to make the picture more concentrated, you can also use the cropping function to remove the excess upper and lower or left and right parts to highlight the main body of the character.
How to batch crop multiple clips?
If you have many clips that require the same cropping settings, you can use the "Copy and Paste Properties" method. First set the Crop parameters on a clip, then right-click "Copy", then select other clips, right-click "Paste Attributes", and check the "Crop" option in "Motion" in the pop-up window.
Of course, if you want to uniformly adjust all clips that have been cropped, you can also use a preset save method other than "Lumetri Color", but this is an advanced operation.
Basically that's it. Although the cropping function is simple, it can improve the texture of the picture and solve many small problems in composition. It is not complicated to operate, but it is easy to ignore details, especially the coordination between zoom and position.
