Trimming Videos

When playing back a video, you can use the trim feature to clip segments out of full videos. For example, you can adjust the start and stop points to trim unwanted material. Trimming a video creates a new copy; trim points are not saved on the original video. You (i.e., the creator) own the video; existing access permissions are not carried over, but existing metadata is copied.

Thumbnail previews are shown as you move the trim handles.

Note

The scrub handle and trim handles can be positioned independently and do not affect each other.

To trim a video:

1. With a video open, click the 

   

    icon and select Trim Controls.
   

   

   
   The progress bar switches to Trim mode.
2. Move one trim handle to the desired start point.
   

   

3. Move the other trim handle to the desired stop point.
   

   

4. Click the 

   

    icon and select Trim Video.
   

   

The new trimmed video is added to the Videos list.
