They are usually nor meant to be displayed but they might contain some interesting information. • Change an exotic pixel format (PAR) to a square pixel format for better compatibility.

The camera can be used directly to record a video if needed. You can also connect your device to your computer in order to drag and drop specific videos (Files feature). The output video can be exported in several ways. Create a new video in the Photo app or in the Files app. Directly modify the input video by adding an edited version. Share the video to another application.

(Isn’t that a U2 song? But I digress.) I’ve seriously been searching for an iOS app that would allow me to take an existing square or portrait video and format it for landscape (16:9) with a blurred background. This. Is. It. Okay, the app has a dated interface: it looks like it was created for iOS 6 and never updated. But I can overlook that if it does what I need quickly and in a straightforward manner. This app scores on both counts — and it was indeed updated only last month. Maybe my praise is a little much for a $2 app, but I’m ecstatic that I found this and that my workflow has gotten a lot easier. ### 1/5 — Nicht sonderlich gut *2022-09-15* Die App kann das was kostenlose Apps auch können ? Nur Videos von der Größe her umändern ich dachte es verbessert auch die Auflösung der Videos. Tut es aber nicht. ### 2/5 — Prompt error cross *2022-04-22* Prompt error cross ### 1/5 — Nothing special at all *2021-11-17* The developer spent more time on the “features” description on the App Store than on the app. This really doesn’t do anything more than what you can do with iOS. The couple of features that doesn’t come with your phone, can be found on many many free apps. Wish I had the $2 back. **Developer response:** Hi, the developer here. The app does things that cannot be none natively, as listed in the “features” description on the App Store. Since you read it, i don't really get why you bought the app in the first place, but you can totally request refunds to Apple. It indeeds takes time to do the localized screenshots and descriptions of an app, thanks for recognizing that, because it is useful for the users to know what the app is doing, before buying it. That said, it takes no more than 1% of the time spent to create the app, so you are far from the reality. And sure, if you find a free app that does the same thing, as well or better than this one, use it as you wish instead (but also be ready to sacrifice your private information, and your videos with them, because with free app, you are not the client, you are the product...) ### 5/5 — Buenísimo y útil, como todas sus herramientas 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 *2020-09-03, version 5.2.2* Las llevo utilizando durante años. Mejores que cualquier otra opción del Store. 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — HELL YEAH THIS ACTUALLY SLAPS *2020-06-22* everyone hates instagram cropping and i’m going to actually lose it over the IGTV cropping- but ngl this kinda saved the day, you can basically alter anything you want, background color, exact proportions, proportions automatically calculated with a size ratio input, if you want to the background to blur or not, how much u want it to blur- basically it just slaps, thanks my dude for making this :P **Developer response:** thanks a lot for your nice review ! ### 4/5 — So Useful *2020-04-22, version 5.2.2* Easy to use, quickly and with good results. ### 5/5 — Awesome!! 👍🏻👍🏻 *2019-11-17* I do rate apps very rare, but here it is no doubt that this APP IS AWESOME! i did look quite a long time for an app like that, incl. the ability to increase the size and to have some very useful extra features for the ones who can handle it. But even for beginners it is an incredible easy-to-use app. Great work! Thank you! **Developer response:** I'm a little late, but thank you very much for your nice review ! ## Frequently asked questions about Video Resize & Scale ### What is Video Resize & Scale - HD used for?
