Questions about Smart Scene Cropping
How does crop relate to video layouts?
Crop focuses the frame; layouts apply aspect ratios and backdrops for social or presentation formats.
Can I crop per scene?
Yes. Focus individual scenes on the timeline so each segment can have the right framing.
Should I inspect resolution first?
Use the free Video File Inspector to confirm source resolution before aggressive crops and exports.
