# Crop a video or image

> Crop videos and images in Descript, reposition a subject within the frame, and adjust zoom. 

Use crop mode in Descript's [scene editor](https://help.descript.com/visuals/scene-editor-overview.md) to control which part of a video or image appears in your scene.

## Crop and reframe your media

1. Select the video or image in the scene editor.
2. If the layer appears in multiple scenes, choose **Current scene** in the Properties panel to change only this scene; choose **All scenes** when you want the same adjustment across every scene using that layer.
3. Click the **crop icon** in the floating toolbar to enter crop mode.
4. Adjust the framing:
   * Drag the crop handles to change the visible area.
   * Drag the video or image inside the frame to reposition the subject.
   * Use **Zoom** in the toolbar to show more or less of the source.
5. Click **Done**.
