How to Trim Video in Windows 10
The Photos app is your best option if you’re not interested in downloading something new. It’s built-in to Windows 10 and is really easy to use. Follow this first set of directions if you need to trim the beginning and/or end of the video. To cut out more than one part, use the advanced steps toward the bottom of this page.
Trim One Segment
This is ideal if you just need to cut out some unnecessary video at the start or end.
Trim Multiple Segments
Follow these steps if there are several places in the video that you need to cut out. The gray button above the selection can be dragged around as well if you want to preview a different part of the video.
Other Ways to Trim Videos
Windows’ built-in video trimmer is fine, but there are loads of other options if you need them, on Windows and other platforms. In our example, we want to start by separating the beginning part from when the opening credits start, since we plan to erase everything that comes before the starting credits. So we’ll drag the button to the moment the credits begin. You can see on the right panel each clip’s duration as you adjust the button. Select Done when you’ve decided. Since our next step is to erase part of the end credits, but not the whole section, we need to split the video right when they start. For example, if you created the video on your Android, you don’t need to copy it to your computer just to trim it; there are video editing apps for Android for that. You can edit videos on iPad, too, as well as use the iPhone’s built-in video editor. Whether you use Windows, Mac, or Linux, take a look at these open source video editing programs for some options. There are also online services that can do the job: Online-Video-Cutter and Kapwing are a few examples.
