The Trim tab lets you remove unwanted content from the beginning or end of a video.

Go to Media, select a video and open the Trim tab.

Understanding the timeline

The timeline contains three markers:

• Playhead – Shows your current playback position. Moving it does not change the trim selection.
• Start marker – Defines where the trimmed video begins.
• End marker – Defines where the trimmed video ends.

Tip: The playhead and start marker initially overlap at the beginning of the timeline, making the start marker difficult to drag directly. Playing the video and using the trim controls is often easier.

Trimming a video

You can set the trim points using the timeline controls or by entering exact timestamps in the Details section.

1. Play the video or use the timeline to navigate to where you want the trimmed video to begin.
2. Pause at the desired position and click > to set the start point.
3. Continue playback or navigate to where you want the video to end.
4. Click < to set the end point.
5. Fine-tune the selection by adjusting the markers or entering exact Clip start and Clip end times in the Details section.
6. Open the Trim dropdown and select:
   • Trim original clip – Overwrite the existing video.
   • Trim to new clip – Create a new video while keeping the original.

The Details section also displays the selected Clip length.

Subtitles and chapters

When trimming a video, its subtitles and chapters are also trimmed and included in the resulting video, whether you overwrite the original or create a copy.

Advanced editing

To remove content from the middle of a video or perform more advanced edits, use Video Editor, if included in your Quickchannel plan.
