The article here jots down a step by step tutorial on how to crop a video conveniently with a video editing program.

Step 4
- Save your video
We have reached at the final stage of the process. This is where we will save the edited video. But before you save it, you may need to convert the video in another format. Do you have to play it on smartphone and multiple browsing devices? Is the current video format compatible with all these devices? Well, if not, you will have to convert the video in a widely supported format. The main purpose of the video is to make others watch it. But if others are unable to open the video file, there is no point to create or edit the video.
Look for the “Export” tab and click on it. It will enable you to choose a desired video format. After you have chosen the preferred format, click on “Start”. The software will convert the video in your chosen format and then save it in its library.
