About Trim Video
Trim Video cuts out the part of a video between a start and end time and saves it as an H.264 MP4. It is the quick way to remove a slow intro, the fumbling at the end of a phone recording, or to pull one moment out of a long file.
When it helps
- Cutting the first seconds of setup and the last seconds of reaching for the stop button off a phone clip.
- Extracting a single highlight from a long gameplay or sports recording.
- Making a short excerpt of a lecture or meeting to share with someone.
Tips
- Enter times as hh:mm:ss (00:01:30) or as seconds (90). Decimal seconds such as 12.5 work for finer cuts.
- The end time is an absolute position in the original video, not a duration. To keep 00:01:00 to 00:01:20, enter those two times.
- Leave the end empty to keep everything from the start time to the end of the video.
- Because the clip is re-encoded, the cut lands on the exact time you enter rather than jumping to the nearest keyframe.
