cropping video

[futureswitcher]

I need to crop a video clip because the black bars are showing up in Quicktime. Any free software to do this?

iMovie has a cropping solution.

I can't seem to find that feature anywhere. Anyone else have any suggestions?

i know how to trim video with the timeline, but I need to crop each frame.

Yes, I know what cropping is. :p
On your clip, select the little gear option and then 'Cropping and Rotation'.
That's the way it is in '09. And I know it's in '08, too, but I'm not sure if it's the same procedure.
Also, this isn't the most professional way to crop, but it's something.

Ahh, yes. I see it now. I was looking in iMovie HD.

Thanks!
