ScreenSage ProCrop the Recording
Cropping takes one region of the original screen recording as the picture, which is handy for removing extra desktop, sidebars or browser tabs. By default, the full recorded area is used with no crop. In the interface, it's the Crop button (the crop icon) in the middle of the editor's top toolbar.
1. Open the crop window
Click Crop in the toolbar. The window shows the original recording with a draggable crop box.
2. Adjust the crop area
- Drag the crop box to move it, or drag its edges and corners to resize.
- Size and Position: type pixel values for exact alignment.
- Aspect ratio: choose Any, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, or enter a custom ratio.
- Auto: detects rectangular regions in the picture, such as a window. Press Space to cycle through the detected rectangles.
- Reset: go back to the full picture.
3. Apply
Click OK to apply the crop or Cancel to discard the change. You can reopen the crop window at any time; the original recording is never modified.
Cropping changes the recording content itself. To change the canvas shape of the finished video, for example to make a vertical video, see Aspect Ratio.
