video cropping software

[bomberbaz]

Hello all.

I need to crop some AVI files, made them too long and got more drift than I bargained for as it was unguided.

Struggled for ages trying to stack in registax but keep getting a white screen.

I am on W10 so looking for something easy to use to simply shorten my AVI and save in original format.

Alternatively, a different stack software suite that will compensate for drift.

TIA all and merry christmas

under win-10 you can use the editor built into the photos viewer app I believe, which would let you crop a section out by moving the start/end points to where you want them to be. Doesn't sound right to open video with the "Photos" app but it is there already and may do what you need. Just click on the "Edit & Create" button top right and select what you want to do.

Also there's VirtualDub and then perhaps use Castrator (http://www.astrokraai.nl/castrator.php) to crop things more centered.

For editing video I can recommend OpenShot https://www.openshot.org

For converting between video formats I can recommend Handrake https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/1.3.0/introduction/about.html
