Edit iPhone video in Photos

This was previously posted but the response only told how to trim. Nothing about crop or basic adjustments. Is it possible to edit an iPhone in Photos? Just looking for something easy and simple. I have about 50 videos I need to edit. Thanks in advance, David

"Is there an Extension Application or other ideas of how to edit Videos that have been imported from my iPhone into Photos? I use iMovie but it is cumbersome to open iMovie and do my edits, save the video as an iMovie and then have to import back into Photos. I do not need fancy editing but some basic editing would be great"

Which system version is running on your iPhone? I am currently editing my iPhone videos on my iPhone, because Photos on the iPhone has the better editing tools for videos and sync the edited videos with iCloud Photos to the Mac.

and I am hoping that the next system version will bring the better video editing from iPhoto iOS to to iPhoto for Mac.

The only editing of videos possible in a Photos library is to trim the length, either at the beginning, end or both.

What kind of video editing do you want to do? You can check the App Store for "movie editing" or "video editing" and see what's available.

Simple. I have about 60 30-50sec individual videos. Objects on a turntable. I need to do a little trimming, some cropping, minor light-dark and possible global color corrections. Nothing fancy or complicated. If Photos supported the same adjustments for video as it does for stills it would suit all my needs. Thanks for the follow-up.

Whatever is current. Yes, that is a possible solution butI need to see the image a little larger than an iPhone screen. An iPad would probably do but I don't have one and that makes it a costly solution.

Thank you, I appreciate you help. Do you know of anything "less cumbersome" than iMovie to accomplish the task?
