Click "Crop" and you can resize the video. You can get the desired size of video for your portable media player or cell phone by selecting aspect ratio, dragging cropping frame or setting the related parameters. 

 

Tip 3: Adjust video effect
You can make some special effect to the video. You will get an intuitive preview of the video effect before and after adjusting with two real-time previewing panes.

If you want to get a personalized video by adding some information to it as watermark, you can realize it by adding either text or image information. You are also allowed to resize the added text/image.

 

 

Tip 5: Add plug-in subtitle
If you have got some videos with the corresponding plug-in subtitle file (usually in SRT format), you can add the subtitle to the video under "Subtitle" tab.
Note: The source file you import should be MKV file, and the plug-in subtitle file should be in SRT format. And you still have to put the MKV file and subtitle file in the same folder with the same name.
