Trimming files

Trim and cut files before converting to save disk space and keep just the parts that you want.

Step 1: Click the Edit button next to the file you want to trim.

Step 2: To cut out a part of the video:

1. Move the position marker to the beginning of the fragment and click the scissors button.

If you're trimming the file from the beginning, skip to the next step.

2. Move the position marker to the end of the fragment and click the scissors button again.

If you're trimming the file from the end, skip to the next step.

3. Click on the fragment to select it and click the trash can button to remove it.

Repeat this for all other fragments that you want to remove. When you remove fragments, the rest of the video will seamlessly snap together.

Step 3: When you've removed all the parts you don't need, click Done to close the editing window.
