Trim Video FAQ
Will the quality drop?
No. The video is usually copied as it is, without re-encoding.
Why does my cut start a little early?
Videos can only be cut cleanly at key frames, so the start may move to the nearest one, often less than a second away.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Trimming happens in your browser.
