I wish to trim and resize video.

For example, some video are shot from a distance and I wish to crop around outside, then resize the cropped video to make it bigger.

Another example, I have some video that have large black border around them. When played, these video are small, centered on screen, surrounded by black. I want to crop away the black border, resize the video to make it full screen.

Is there free or inexpensive software that can do this? Software that does not automatically stick on branding or limit resolution or other unhappy results?

I do not know anything about video editing, but use Photoshop, so complexity is not frightening.

If you consider $US 60 inexpensive, the unpromisingly named Wondershare Video Converter and Filmora Video editor will do this sort of thing. Maybe ffmpeg could do such things for 'free' (in terms of money rather than time).

There are also videredo products, which are a bit more expensive, and maybe a bit better.

Right now ffmpeg is the best tool for the type of editing you need, supported on every popular platform and free. Many video converters either use their codebase or even bundle as part of the software, sometimes trying to take money for doing it. But ffmpeg alone is a command line tool, so you will either need to carefully read documentation or google exact command for a given task. I know there are graphical front-ends for ffmpeg but I don't use them personally and have no idea if they are any good. If in trouble I might be able to help with a command.

And keep in mind that if you crop a video and resize it back you won't get any extra quality, a 480p video scaled up to 1080p still looks like 480p. It would be best to leave it cropped and let the player do all the resizing. I would resize it back with ffmpeg only if I needed to get rid of some watermark and make it look like original :).

I use WinFF which provides a simple GUI front end for ffmpeg, but only for converting video from one format to another. It is convenient for that.

What I wish to discover is GIMP for video editing.
