Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I enter seconds only?

Yes. You can use seconds, MM:SS or HH:MM:SS.

Does trimming change the original?

No. The selected range becomes a separate MP4 file.

Why is the clip re-encoded?

Re-encoding lets the requested times be accurate instead of moving the cut to a nearby keyframe.

Is the video uploaded?

No. The cut is made in a browser worker on your device.

Background

A time range becomes a separate file

Enter the start and end as hours, minutes and seconds. The selected part is re-encoded for a clean, broadly playable MP4 result.

  • Only one continuous section is kept in each run.
  • Re-encoding takes longer than copying keyframes but makes the requested boundaries more dependable.
