Trim Video

Export a shorter clip from a longer video node.

What trim does

Trim creates a shorter clip from an existing video. Use it when only one part of a video is useful.

When to trim

Trim a video when:

  • the source clip is too long
  • only one moment should be reused
  • a reference needs a shorter section
  • Video Composer should receive a clean clip

Trim a clip

  1. Select a Video node.
  2. Choose Trim Video.
  3. Play the video.
  4. Set the in point.
  5. Set the out point.
  6. Export the trim.
  7. Preview the new clip.

What to check

Make sure the trim starts and ends cleanly. If the clip is still too long, trim again before using it in Video Composer.

Trim is available for videos up to 10 minutes. Each exported trim can be up to 60 seconds.

Next step

Combine clean clips with Video Composer.
