    During this part of the segment, Erik mentioned Crop Video. This tool allows you to upload landscape video to the browser-based video editor, crop it perfectly for vertical or square video, and export your cropped video. You can listen to The Social Media Marketing Podcast to hear more about it.

    This is a screenshot of the Crop Video app website. A white man with short dark curly hair, glasses, and a beard leans into a cropping area and waves his hand. He’s wearing a black button-down shirt. On either side of the cropping area are wide bars that are vertical, dark green, and transparent. White text appears over the cropping area and vertical bars. It says, “Optimize Videos For Social Media,” followed by the line “Simple and Fast.” Below this text is a button labeled “Sign Up Free”.

    Study Reports YouTube's Trending Section Disadvantageous to Creators: Using data crowdsourced from 40,000 videos, a new study reveals that creators need to reach about 11 million views on a video before it is shown in the Trending section. In comparison, segments from TV shows like The Tonight Show or Jimmy Kimmel Live only need a couple hundred thousand views to be shown in the Trending section.
