How do I use the Video Editor in Compose?

You can edit your video content directly from Compose. Crop, trim and choose a template as you’re creating your video posts, rather than editing your videos ahead of time or outside of Sprout.

This functionality is limited to .mp4 files and available on Chrome or Edge 94+.
