Cropping and trimming video

Flash Video Encoder provides the following editing options that let you crop and trim video 
clips before encoding them: 

Cropping

 lets you alter the dimensions of a video clip. You can eliminate areas of the video to 

emphasize a particular focal point within the frame such as highlighting a character by 
removing ancillary imagery or removing unwanted backdrops.

Trimming

 lets you edit the beginning and ending points (the in and out points) of a video. For 

example, you can adjust the trim of a video clip to begin play back 30 seconds into the full 
clip, removing unwanted frames.
