I can’t crop or change pictures in iMovie.

I can’t crop pictures in iMovie. So like there is no magnifying glass in the right corner for me to make it vertical or to crop it. I’m on a iPhone SE. Can someone help me?

iPhone SE, iOS 17

Hi,

I can't see a crop tool in iPhone iMovie either. You can crop the photo in the iPhone Photos app by going into edit mode and selecting the crop tool. Then you can drag the photo's edges to crop it. Save it an import it into your iMovie project.
