Frequently asked questions

What is Trim Video?

Pick the clip on a filmstrip and hear it before you cut. The cut itself is done without re-encoding, so quality and format are untouched.

When would I actually use this?

Trimming a clip to the part that matters, pulling the audio out of a video, and converting to the format a platform will actually accept.

What is the most common mistake?

Re-encoding when a copy would do. Every lossy pass loses quality that no later step recovers, so trimming without re-encoding is always the better route when the format is already right.

How is Trim Video different from Trim Audio?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Trim Audio is the one to open when you need it to cut an audio file between a start and an end and download the clip as MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG or FLAC. MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, WMA, AIFF and the rest. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Burn subtitles into a video is the closest one after this: Paint an SRT or VTT track into the picture, so it plays on any player.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Change video speed and Mute a video — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

Processing runs in the browser through a WebAssembly build of the same encoders desktop tools use, on a single thread. That keeps the file private and off any server, and makes long clips slower than a native application.

ExplainerWhy Your Video Cut Lands Two Seconds EarlyYou asked for 1:23 and got 1:21. Nothing is broken: a cut that does not re-encode can only land on a keyframe, and how far away the nearest one is depends entirely on what recorded the video. Here is how to know which you have and when to accept the drift.GuideWhy a Three-Second GIF Outweighs the Video It Came FromA GIF has no real video compression: every frame is a whole picture, capped at 256 colours. That gives you an arithmetic you can do in your head — width times height times frames — and three levers to pull when the upload box says the file is too big.GuideWhich Video Resolution to Choose, and What Each Step Costs in MegabytesGoing from 1080p to 720p does not halve the picture: it removes 56 % of the pixels, and it removes rather less than that of the file. Here is the ladder with real pixel counts, honest bitrates and what three minutes weighs at each rung — plus the reason a low-bitrate source barely shrinks at all.How-toGetting a Video Under an Upload Limit Without GuessingThe quality slider cannot aim at a file size — that is not what it is for. But the limit and the length of your clip already fix the bitrate you are allowed to spend, and one division tells you whether the resolution you are using can possibly fit.GuidePulling Still Frames Out of a Video — and Why They Look Softer Than the Video DidThree commands hide behind three buttons: one frame at a timestamp, a fixed number spread across the clip, or one every N seconds. Here are the exact arguments, the 60-frame ceiling and the reason a frame from the middle of a compressed clip can never be as sharp as a keyframe.How-toRemoving the Sound From a Video Without Touching the PictureOne ffmpeg command, no encoder, and a result whose video stream is byte-for-byte the one you started with — verified by checksum. Plus why the file barely shrinks, and the difference between a silent track and no track at all.
