Step 2: Reduce video file size
1. Trim unnecessary part of the video
Generally speaking, most of movies contain opening and ending trailers which are not so important for video. Absolutely, there’re also some boring sections in videos inevitably. Those unnecessary episodes expand video duration and file size.

Video Grabber also features the function of video cropping. You just need to input preferred resolution or size proportion into the blank of crop upon the panel of video editor. Click OK button to confirm and resume to main page. Next, press Convert button to start converting.
