Where is the crop tool in iMovie for iOS?

I just edited a movie and it defaulted to a square crop. I want to restore it to full frame. However I cannot find the crop tool anywhere in the app. Online instructions say to tap EDIT and then the crop tool will appear at the bottom of the screen. But it is nowhere to be found!

cropping imovie problem I'm trying to crop a short movie edit, but don't have crop options on the edit except fit/crop-to-fill/ken burns, none of which will let me crop to a square for IG If I click on the raw unedited footage in 'my media' the crop options all appear - but I want to crop the edited version, not the original. How do I crop my edited/splice footage? Or get the crop settings to come up? Or can I only crop the complete unedited clip? Also I'm trying to remove clips from 'my media', but only get an option to delete them, when I want to move them - so how do I move without them being deleted? - thanks

Cutaway to portrait image displays on top of video instead of on black background I am making a movie in 16:9 landscape aspect ratio and I want to cutaway to a portrait image. I was hoping that the movie would completely cutaway to the portrait image with the space on either side filled in black (i.e. the portrait image would be displayed on a black background). However, the image simply appears on top of the video like a picture in picture. Is there any way around this? Is there any way to get imovie to automatically put black bars on either side of a portrait image so it can be used in a regular landscape project?
