If the resolution of your cell phone is not the default one of 176*144, you can have more options in the codec setting panel.

If you feel it is necessary to cut a segment from the original video, use "Trim" feature to give it a clear cut with a high precision of millisecond.



When the video has black margins that reduce the visibility, you can straightly get rid of them via the "Crop" feature.



There are two ways you can add a logo or a text anywhere on the video surface. Just go to "Logo" and "Text" to create your special signatures.

Create a logo watermark from JPG, BMP or PNG pictures.



Or create a text watermark in any style you want.
