The tool allows you to cut a desired fragment from a video clip by specifying the start and end time in seconds. You get a new file containing only the selected segment, without the need to re-encode the entire clip in a professional video editor.

When this is useful

You recorded a long gameplay session and want to share only the most spectacular moment with friends. Trimming will let you quickly extract this episode. Another example: you have a finished video clip with a long intro and credits, and you want to remove them, leaving only the main content for posting on a social network.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Add the video clip via the upload button or by dragging and dropping.
  2. In the input fields, specify the fragment's start time and end time in seconds.
  3. If necessary, select the encoding parameters for the output file.
  4. Click the processing button and wait for it to finish.
  5. Then, check the final fragment in the built-in player to ensure the trim boundaries are set accurately.

How to verify the result

If the final fragment starts or ends at the wrong place, check if the entered values are in seconds, not minutes. If an error occurs during processing, make sure the end time is greater than the start time and does not exceed the total clip duration. If the video does not play after trimming, try selecting a different output format.

Important limitations

The processing duration directly depends on the resolution, bitrate, and total length of the source clip. The tool performs trimming with re-encoding, so the final quality may slightly differ from the original. It is not intended for frame-by-frame editing and does not allow joining several different fragments into one file.
