While cropping changes what you see when looking at a video file, trimming edits the video's length or runtime. For example, trim a video from one minute to 30 seconds, but crop a video to make it fill the entire screen when used as an Instagram Story. Trimming makes a video shorter; cropping changes how much of the video you see at any one time.

Why Should I Crop a Video
There are several reasons you may want to crop a video on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad: To remove an object or person: If you filmed an amazing video, but there's someone in the background who's ruining the shot, crop them out as you would with a photo.To optimize the video for social media feeds: Many people crop widescreen videos into a square aspect ratio before sharing on social media apps such as Twitter and Facebook. Square videos appear larger in social media feeds and are more visible on small screens.To optimize for Instagram Stories: Widescreen videos either appear small in Instagram Stories or focus on the middle of the screen when zoomed in. Cropping a video before uploading it to Instagram ensures the video focuses on what you want.
