Choose a Video
First access your project from the main project page. Then, choose the relevant take that you would like to trim.
Trim Choices
In the Video Menu, to use Trim you have 2 choices: "Cue Start/End" or "Trim Video"
Cue Start/End - Automatically trim from the first word you spoke until the last.
Trim Video - Manually select the words or time codes on which part you'd like to trim the video
Cue Start/End
The entire caption is already selected, you can directly hit Create Copy to save your trimmed video
Trim Video
Tap on the first word you want your video take to start with and select Start (1) and then choose the word you want your video take to end with and select End (2)
👀 It will cut out everything in the beginning until the first word is spoken and the same with the last word and ending
When you choose the word to start/end WordTrim will start a preview from/until that word so you can make sure it starts/ends at exactly the right time.
You can also change the words chosen by clicking on a new word to start or end with.
💡 You can also trim parts of your video that you want to keep and create a new version to edit or share on your social media channels
⚠️ Trimming parts that you want to remove from your video is not possible at this time
6. Once you choose the first and last words for your new copy, two options will appear:
Finetune
If the words weren't accurate enough, and you want to fine-tune the start/endpoint
Minor changes - "Start & End" ➡️ If the goal is to simply adjust slightly the start and endpoints. You will have two lines on the screen, representing the start and end cut points and 6 seconds before and after them.
Moving the bar on the top line will let you fine-tune the new start of your video, and the lower line at the end.
Major changes - "Full Video" ➡️ If you want to completely change the start and end, and not just fine-tune it, you can use 'Full Video' mode, which behaves like a classic trimmer, using a video timeline.
Create copy
This will generate the new video take with the selected words, without harming the original take.
Once trimmed and satisfied, you can now continue styling your video on the app
