How to trim a video online
A video trimmer changes the length of your clip
Trim video when you want a shorter clip with the same visible frame. Remove time spent setting up a shot or a final moment after the action has finished. Start with the smallest change that makes the clip clearer, then play it through. Trimming affects duration; video cropping changes what is visible around the edges instead.
Turn a longer recording into a focused short clip
A useful short video has a clear subject from the opening. Choose a section of a longer recording that makes sense on its own, such as one answer, demonstration, or product detail. Keep a small amount of context before the key moment so the cut does not feel abrupt. For a podcast excerpt or social post, listen to the audio as well as watching the picture before you export.
- Give a longer recording a clear focus
Choose trimming or cutting for the edit you need
Trimming removes time from the beginning or end of a clip. Cutting can also mean splitting footage or removing a section from the middle. The Trim & Cut tool brings these duration edits into a focused workflow. Review the available controls for your clip and check both sides of a cut so the movement or sentence still makes sense. Keep a copy of the original recording for another edit.
Finish your shorter video with the right next tool
After trimming, use Resize Video when you need different output dimensions or Crop Video when the subject needs a tighter frame. Add a title with text overlays or a soundtrack with Add Music to Video. Review the timing again after any edit that changes the finished sequence.
- Keep editing after you shorten the clip
