Why Trim Video?
Professional video editing software like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro can be expensive and overwhelming for simple trimming tasks. Our online video trimmer provides instant, precise cutting - just enter start and end times in seconds, and download your trimmed clip. Perfect for extracting highlights from recordings, removing unwanted intro/outro sections, creating clips for Instagram or TikTok, cutting specific moments from long videos, removing mistakes or pauses, and preparing video segments for editing. The tool works entirely online with no software installation required.

Optimization Tips
Getting the best trimming results requires understanding time selection and formats. **Use precise times** - you can use decimals like 10.5 seconds for frame-accurate trimming. Play your source video first to identify exact times. **Start from zero** - remember that 0 is the beginning of the video. If you want to keep the first 30 seconds, use start: 0, end: 30. **Calculate duration** - end time minus start time equals output duration. For a 10-second clip starting at 15 seconds, use start: 15, end: 25. **Stream copy advantage** - when you trim MP4 to MP4 without changing resolution or quality settings, we can use instant stream copy. This is much faster than re-encoding. **Check source length** - make sure your end time doesn't exceed the video's actual duration. **Round numbers** - for social media clips, use round numbers like 15, 30, or 60 seconds for standard durations. **Quality preservation** - trimming with stream copy maintains perfect quality since the video isn't re-encoded. **Use for pre-processing** - trim first, then apply other effects like compression or conversion for more efficient workflows. Maximum file size: 75MB, maximum duration: 60 seconds.
