How to trim in Video Editor

It's not uncommon to shoot a video that is too long and contains a lot of extra footage, which is not needed in the end. Short videos may also have unnecessary parts, for example, when someone walked past the person being filmed. However, we want to show the viewer only the most interesting parts.

If you need to cut out multiple parts and make additional changes to the video, we have an all-in-one video editor.

  1. Upload a file

    Open Clideo's Online Video Editor and click "Get started", then "Upload" to add the video you want to trim.
