How to Trim a Video Online

• Remove mistakes from screen recordings or presentations
• Create short clips from lectures or webinars for sharing

Tips for Better Trimming

1. Trim before compressing — trim first to remove unwanted footage, then compress the shorter clip for even smaller files
2. Extract audio first — if you only need the audio, use MP4 to MP3 instead of trimming
3. Merge trimmed clips — use Video Merge to combine multiple trimmed clips into one
4. Add subtitles — after trimming, use Subtitle Burn-in for social media clips
