Truth to tell, even though iMovie is a very powerful editing app for Mac, I do not suggest it for just removing black bar from video. It sometimes crashes and the most importantly, the interface is complex for common people. If you insist on it, do further study on it.

QuickTime is famous as a multimedia player on Mac. We often use it to play audio and video files on Mac. QuickTime is more than a player if you have ever researched into its features. It features a recorder available to record audio and video. If the file is not that long in duration, cropping black bars from video by recording the whole video is a way out suppose that you only have QuickTime on your Mac.

First, open your video on the player, and go to “File” > “New Screen Recording”. A pop-up window will appear showing you the recording functions. Simply click the red button then select the portion of the video without the black bars. Lastly, tap on “Start Recording” to record your video.

Note that the feature is available only for users running Mac OS X 10.6 version as well as to those who upgraded their QuickTime to Pro version.
