About VideoCropStudio

VideoCropStudio turns your clips into ready-to-post videos for every shape and platform: vertical, portrait, square, wide and cinema, one clip or a whole folder at a time. One price, no subscription, and everything runs on your Mac.

NEW IN 3.0
• Captions made on your Mac: speech becomes editable captions without uploading anything. Burn them in or save a .srt file.
• Follow Subject: the crop moves with the person or main subject through the clip.
• Blurred background instead of black bars when fitting a wide clip into vertical.
• Compress to a size (under 10, 25, 50, 100 or 250 MB) and split long clips into parts.
• Setups for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, YouTube and Discord, with length warnings.
• Audio fades and loudness leveling to −14 LUFS.
• Text or logo watermark for the whole queue, color adjustments, and GIF export.

Import videos, choose a crop preset, preview the kept frame, trim the clip, adjust framing, rotate or flip, set codec, speed, audio, quality, frame rate, and safe-zone guides, then export a single clip or the entire queue.

The Batch Export Plan shows each output file name, render size, duration, speed, codec, audio state, safe-zone guide, estimated size, and any clips that need attention. The manifest can be copied as Markdown for handoff notes or production records.

VideoCropStudio runs locally on your Mac. It does not require an account and does not upload your videos. Captions use Apple's on-device speech recognition; if your language has no on-device model, the feature says so rather than using the internet.
