How to use the Video Trimmer
- Choose the video.
- Enter the start and end times.
- Choose Fast or Exact.
- Click Trim video and download.
Fast vs exact
Fast copies the video without re-encoding. It is instant and lossless, but it can only start at a keyframe, so the clip may begin up to a couple of seconds earlier than you asked. Exact re-encodes the clip so it starts and ends precisely on your times.
Good to know
Fast mode cuts without re-encoding and may start at the nearest earlier keyframe. Exact mode re-encodes the clip with H.264 at high quality so it starts and ends exactly on your times.
