If the emoji is at the end of the video clip, do something similar, but for the end of the clip. After that, you can find the part with the emoji has been removed.
Method 2: Remove Emoji from Video by Cropping
For emojis that appear in the corners or edges of the video, cropping can be an effective solution. You can crop out the part containing the emoji. This method works well if the emoji is small and far away from the main subject of the video. Here are the steps:
1. Click the target video on the timeline and click the Crop icon on the timeline toolbar.

2. In the pop-up Crop window, put the mouse in the direction containing the emoji. When it turns into a double-headed arrow, drag it inward to the appropriate location.

3. Click on OK to save the changes.
Method 3: Covering with Another Element
If the above methods are not suitable, you can cover the emoji with another element such as a text box, sticker, image, or similar video footage. This method is useful when the emoji covers an important part of the video that you cannot trim or crop. Here, we’ll take the text box as an example to cover the emoji. Follow these steps:
1. Select the video you would like to hide the emoji from on the timeline.
2. Go to the Text tab at the top and find a suitable text style.
