Cropping an area of a YouTube video?

[jebus197]

Hi, is there any way to crop an area of a youtube video, like you can with photos? I don't want to shorten the video, just remove a timestamp insterted by the recoding camera/vcr on the bottom right hand corner of the video when the video was taken.

Is there any easy to use software that can do this? I searched on Google, but people generally seem to be quite confused about the difference between cropping and cutting.

I mean cut out stuff like this out on the bottom of the image from the whole video.

I use Xvid4psp to do this kind of job.

First up if you don't have the original file use a program or website like keepvid to download the mp4/flv of the video. Secondly you can easily use any video editor to crop it. Although this may be overkill personally I would use Premier, Vegas or Affter Effects as they are all installed on my computer. If you don't own any of these then use a free program like VirtualDub. There are probably easier ones - just google "cropping video free" etc.

This. Sound advice.

I recommend using keepvid, too.

Best of its kind! (Y)

Of cause you could always use browser website element inspectors or addons that add a download button on youtube sites or in the bar to download the video in a chosen quality... :)
