Trim the start and end of a video

Most videos have a few seconds you don't need at each end. Drag the two handles in ClipSplit to cut them off, then save the video or split what is left.

The ClipSplit timeline with trim handles at the start and end of a video.

A quick cut, not a project

Full video editors are built for timelines, layers and effects. When you only need to lose the fumbling at the start and the reach for the phone at the end, that is a lot of app for two cuts. ClipSplit opens straight to your video with a handle at each end.

Trim, then split if you need to

Once trimmed, the rest of ClipSplit works on just that section. Choose Full to save it as one video, or a length or size to split the trimmed part. The preview updates as you drag, so you can see how many parts are left.

How to trim a video on Android

  1. Choose the video

    Open ClipSplit and pick the video, or share it to ClipSplit from your gallery.

  2. Drag the handles

    Move the start handle to where the video should begin and the end handle to where it should stop.

  3. Keep it whole or split it

    Choose Full to keep one video, or a length to split what is left.

  4. Save or share

    Tap Save all or Share all when it is done.

Good to know

  • On Original, a trim keeps the full quality of the video.
  • Trimming first makes compression faster, because there is less video to encode.

Questions

Can I cut a piece out of the middle?

Not in one step. ClipSplit trims the start and end. To drop a middle section, split the video and leave out the part you don't want when you share.

Does trimming lower the quality?

Not on Original. The trimmed video keeps the same resolution and sound as before.
