How to trim and crop video clips to create your favorite Flash video

It is now quite popular to upload your favorite Flash videos to the web to share with others. Yet you will feel from time to time that the whole piece of video is not what you want, and thus want to trim the unwanted away and retain your favorite video clips for online distribution. Now there is some software to meet such needs, and that is Flash Video MX.

Here I would like to share with you my experience of using the format conversion software, particularly to newbies. Hopefully this guide will be of help to you. Flash Video MX is a Flash video encoder and is empowered with the trim and crop functions, and thus you can make customized Flash video for different needs. Some part of the video clip may be of use to you, while others are useless for online sharing, this is where the trim & crop function come in handy.
