Before we proceed to illustrate every detail on how to edit the MP4 video, you can download the MP4 editor first so you can follow the below steps one by one.
It’s free to download now.
1. Cut MP4 Video
To cut your MP4 video into certain parts, drag and drop the video on the Timeline and highlight it. Then place the red Time Indicator to where you want to cut the video, and click the Scissor button above the timeline.
After that, move the red marker to the end of the scene, and repeat this again to cut the video into several fragments. If you want to cut off the unwanted parts, right click the video and choose “Delete”.
2. Join MP4 Video
To join several MP4 video files into one, you just need to place all the video files on the timeline, adjust the order and hit “Create” to export it.
If you want to make the joined videos look like a really intact movie, just add transitions between clips for smooth change from one to next. To do this, click “Transition” tab on the main screen. Then drag the effect you like to the timeline to apply.
If you don’t want to choose the transition one by one, let the software choose the transition randomly by right clicking and selecting “Random to All” option.

Part 2: Bonus: Best 5 Premiere Pro Intro Templates Free Download
Even though all websites we featured in this article offer some free intro templates for Adobe Premiere Pro. However, it is still a much better solution to buy a subscription plan on a platform if you are working on a large number of projects each month.

16. Motion Array
In addition to an impressive library of intro templates, Motion Array offers presets, sound effects, royalty-free music, and stock footage.

The website provides you with powerful search tools, so you can select the resolution of the template, up to 8K, or choose which types of templates are going to be displayed.
Using the free subscription plan can limit your options since you’ll only be able to download free templates, and your upload storage will be limited to just 1GB.

This option is best suited for video editors who want to create their intros because RocketStok’s Cinematic Style Library extends the scope of options provided by Premiere Pro.

Once you’ve installed all the fonts from the library, you can use them to replace the software’s default library. You just have to click on the Replace Style Library option that can be accessed from Premiere Pro’s Title Style tab.
If you don’t feel comfortable creating your titles or if you simply don’t have the time to create your own titles, the Free Cinematic Style Library is not the best choice for you.

Part 2: Bonus: Best 5 Premiere Pro Intro Templates Free Download
Even though all websites we featured in this article offer some free intro templates for Adobe Premiere Pro. However, it is still a much better solution to buy a subscription plan on a platform if you are working on a large number of projects each month.
Let’s see which websites you can use to download the intro and title templates for Premiere Pro.
16. Motion Array
In addition to an impressive library of intro templates, Motion Array offers presets, sound effects, royalty-free music, and stock footage.
Furthermore, you can choose the software version to make sure that the templates you download can be used with the version of Adobe Premiere Pro you have installed on your computer.
The website provides you with powerful search tools, so you can select the resolution of the template, up to 8K, or choose which types of templates are going to be displayed.
Using the free subscription plan can limit your options since you’ll only be able to download free templates, and your upload storage will be limited to just 1GB.
The Pro subscription plan that can be purchased for $54 per month will grant you access to an almost endless selection of title templates as well as a huge selection of plugins for Adobe Premiere Pro.
17. Cinecom – Simple Intro for Premiere Pro
It is a designer pack that features ten pre-animated lower-thirds intro templates. You can change the duration of the font and color of the text in each template, and you can choose if you want to download a 1080 or the 4K version of the designer pack.
The templates are compatible with CS6, CC2013, CC2014, and CC2016 versions of the Premiere Pro. The Simple Titles pack can be easily installed, as you just have to drag and drop it into the software.
However, before you can download these title templates, you have to subscribe to Cinecom’s mailing list.
Even though this can be a bit inconvenient, it is very well worth the trouble since you’ll be able to transform or build upon the intro templates and use them freely in all videos you edit in Adobe Premiere Pro.
18. EnvatoElements
You can find much more than intro templates on the EnvatoElements platform since you can choose from 740.000 items you can use for anything from creating a WordPress website to preparing your next business presentation.
The Video Templates category alone features over 4000 items, including Logo Stings or Infographics assets.
There are nearly one hundred available intro templates for Adobe Premiere Pro, but downloading any of them requires you to create an account and purchase a subscription plan.
Prices start from $16.50 per month, and packages include virtually unlimited access to stock photos and videos, video templates, and much more. The EnvatoElements platform also offers assets that can be used with Final Cut Pro, Adobe After Effects or Apple Motion.
19. Videohive
Videohive is a part of the Envato Market platform that also features Web Themes and Templates, Code, Audio, or Graphic sections. It is free to use, but only a limited amount of assets can be downloaded for free.
To download an item, you must purchase it, and prices can range from $16 to $50 for a single title template.
Videohive is also a great source of title templates for Adobe After Effects, as it offers more than 5000 titles and intros that are compatible with this software.
Furthermore, you can download presets for both Premiere Pro and After Effects that can be used to create stop-motion animations, perform color correction, or make the footage look like it was captured with a VHS camera.
20. RocketStock
This option is best suited for video editors who want to create their intros because RocketStok’s Cinematic Style Library extends the scope of options provided by Premiere Pro.
Downloading all fonts except Helvetica Neue is free, but you must check which fonts you can use in commercial projects. You will have no trouble installing the fonts since you can just double-click on the font and follow the on-screen instructions.
Once you’ve installed all the fonts from the library, you can use them to replace the software’s default library. You just have to click on the Replace Style Library option that can be accessed from Premiere Pro’s Title Style tab.
If you don’t feel comfortable creating your titles or if you simply don’t have the time to create your own titles, the Free Cinematic Style Library is not the best choice for you.
On the other hand, Premiere Pro’s users who don’t often use title templates can benefit from downloading RocketStock’s intro library.
Part 3: How to Import and Customize Title Templates in Premiere
If you download the template, all the title templates support customization. You can change its size, font, color, and add 3D effects.
It is easy to import and use it to touch up your video. Check out the steps below to know how to import title templates quickly.
- Install the title template. Choose one template you like and download it to your PC. Remember to unzip it before importing it. Now install them.
- Import the title template. You just need to go to click Effects at the top. Then at right, you will find Presets in the effects section.
- Right-click on presets, and choose Import Presets. If the title template format is .mogrt, you need to open it in Essential Graphics Panel. At the bottom right corner, click the plus icon to import the title template and install it.
- Customize the title template. Once the title template is imported, drag it to the timeline. Click the Editing tab. Here you can customize colors, text, opacities, and positions. There are more options for you to explore.
- You can also copy and paste the title template to another place in the timeline. If you change one place of the pasted template, the original one will remain the same.
Note: each version of Premiere’s interface will look different, but the workflow is similar.
Conclusion
Using title templates can help you achieve a certain visual style faster, so you don’t have to spend a lot of time looking for a perfect background or animating the text.
The Internet provides almost unlimited video editing resources, but not all of these resources can be acquired for free.
Which website you will choose as a source of fresh title templates depends on how often you work on new projects in Adobe Premiere Pro.
If you want to make professional video editing and tired of Premiere, try Filmora! It includes various titles templates to use.
You can sync audio automatically, use detailed color correction to make your title and video like a movie. Download it now (FREE)!

Final Cut Pro X Image Editing: Cropping Made Easy
Final Cut Pro X: How to Crop an Image
Benjamin Arango
Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
Cropping an image means to remove a portion of the image, either to hide something you don’t want the audience to see or emphasize different elements within the image. Just as Photoshop allows us to crop still images, Final Cut Pro X allows us to crop moving video clips, as you’ll learn in this article.
This is a basic tutorial about Apple Final Cut Pro X, professional video editing software. However, if video editing is new to you, consider Wondershare Filmora for Mac . This is a powerful but easy-to-use tool for users just starting out. Download the free trial version below.

How to Crop an Image in Final Cut Pro X
However, before I show how this is done, I need to explain one really important fact about video: all video uses what’s called “fixed resolution.” Fixed resolution means that high-definition video is always displayed at one of two sizes:
You May Also Like: How to Crop GIF Images >>
- 1920 x 1080 pixels
- 1920 x 1080 pixels
Unlike still images which can be thousands of pixels on a side, video clips are locked into one of these two sizes. This means that if you crop a video clip, to remove something you don’t like, the remaining pixels are often enlarged to fill the frame. Crop too much and your video clip will look blurry, blocky, and edges will look stair-stepped.
I’ll show you two ways to crop a video clip in this article, one that maintains a high image quality but reduces the size of the frame (called “trimming”) and the other that fills the frame with the image but reduces image quality (called “cropping”). You get to pick which one works the best for you.
TRIMMING
Trimming is the process of removing portions of a video clip without changing the size of the clip. This retains the highest amount of image quality.
For instance, here an image - courtesy of Pond5 (<www.pond5.com>). Let’s say that we want to emphasize the barn and not the sky.
The easiest way to do this is to click the icon in the lower left corner of the Viewer and choose “Crop.”
This displays the cropping tools in the Viewer.
Click the Trim button to turn on Trim mode. (This article discusses Trim and Crop. I’ll cover the Ken Burns effect in a future article.)
Grab one of the blue dots and drag to hide portions of the frame. I generally grab a corner, but any blue dot will do.
NOTE: Press and hold the Option key while dragging to drag opposite edges or corners. Press and hold the Shift key to constrain the trim to the same aspect ratio as the frame.
Drag other corners or edges to further trim the image.
When you have trimmed the image the way you want, click the “Done” button in the top right corner to exit trimming mode.
If no other clip is below the trimmed clip, the background will be black.
But, it actually isn’t black, it’s transparent. If you put another clip below it, you’ll see the lower clip underneath the trimmed image.
Trimming allows us to hide portions of a video clip, without changing the image quality of the clip that remains. However, trimming always creates transparent sections within an image.
CROPPING
Cropping allows us to select just a portion of a video clip, without creating any transparent sections, BUT, it degrades image quality.
There are several ways we can choose to crop an image:
- Click the Crop icon, as we illustrated above
- Right-mouse click (or Control-click) inside the Viewer and choose
- Type Shift+C
* In the Inspector > Video tab > Crop (this option provides the most precision, but is the least intuitive to use)
If you selected any option except the Inspector, click the Crop button in the Viewer.
Now, drag a blue button in one of the corners. Because cropping, unlike trimming, fills the frame with the portion of the image we select, we can only move corners and the image is always sized to match the aspect ratio of our sequence.
Final Cut displays numbers at the top of the Viewer indicating how much the image has been cropped.
Reposition the frame by grabbing inside the rectangle and dragging.
When you are happy with the results, click the Done button in the top right corner.
Notice that the selected portion of the image now fills the frame. Even though there is a clip below our cropped clip, we don’t see it.
And, if you look closely, you’ll see that the cropped image is softer (blurrier) than the original and edges are more likely to be stair-stepped.
RESET
To reset a cropped image back to its default settings, open the Inspector and click the small curved arrow to the right of the word “Crop.”
SUMMARY
Trimming is used to hide portions of an image and superimpose it over another image.
Cropping is used to reframe an image, say from a medium shot to a close-up, but runs the risk of overly softening an image. The general rule is that cropping a little is OK, but don’t crop too much.
I use both these techniques frequently in my own editing.
