I'm on the hunt for a straightforward video editor that lets me crop images easily. I've tried Kdenlive and OpenShot, but they both make the process way too complicated for what I need. On Android, I love using the built-in Video Editor because it allows me to drag and resize the video frame in a very user-friendly way, so I can crop the image exactly as I want without messing with resolutions. Just to clarify, I'm looking specifically to crop, like cutting half or a quarter of the video image, similar to what I'd find at online tools like https://online-video-cutter.com/. Any recommendations?

You might want to check out Lossless Cut. It's available for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and it's perfect for quick cuts without re-encoding. Plus, it's open-source, which is a nice bonus! Just grab it from their GitHub page: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/releases.
Avidemux is actually great for this kind of thing, although I'm not totally sure if it supports cropping images directly. It’s user-friendly for cuts, but you might need to check if it aligns with your cropping needs.
I found a tool on Flathub called Video Trimmer, but bear in mind it doesn’t actually crop images as you’re looking for. Still might be worth trying if you ever need to trim video lengths instead!
If you're comfortable using the terminal, VLC paired with ffmpeg could really do the trick. It’s a bit more manual, but it gives you a lot of control over your videos. Just a couple of commands, and you can handle it pretty efficiently.
