Choose how to trim your video
Trim a recording in Photos
Open the video in Photos and tap Edit. Move the two ends of the frame viewer to mark the section to keep, then tap Done. Choose Save Video as New Clip if you want to retain both the full recording and the shorter version.
Keep one continuous range in ClipDock
Use Process → Trim Video → Select Segment. The example below exports 00:00–00:06 as a roughly six-second video. To keep a middle section such as 00:10–00:16, move both handles and confirm the six-second selected duration before processing.
Removing a section from the middle takes two clips
Select Segment keeps one continuous range. To remove a middle section and keep both sides, export the portion before it and the portion after it separately, then join those clips in order. Even Split is a different, VIP mode for equal divisions.
01
Open Trim Video in Process
In ClipDock, open the Process tab and tap Trim Video. Have the original video ready in Photos or Files.
02
Choose the video to process
In Select Video, tap Choose from Photos or Choose from Files and select your video. You can import a video even when the download list is empty.
03
Choose the trim mode and time range
Select Segment under Trim Mode, then move the two Trim Range handles.
Select Segment exports the chosen range
The left handle sets the start and the right sets the end. Times and selected duration appear above, with the export range repeated below. This example keeps 00:00–00:06 and produces a roughly six-second clip. The selected duration is the end time minus the start time.
The preview duration is not the trim range
The preview card shows the original video duration. Trim Range identifies what will be retained. Check that you have not cut off the start of an action or the final words.
Even Split* divides the whole video
Even Split divides the full video into equal pieces and exports them together. It requires VIP. Use Select Segment to keep a single range.
04
Check the result, then save or keep processing
Tap Start Processing, then play the exported clip to check its start and end. Save it or use Keep Processing to open it in another tool.
Preview and save
Play the result and check picture, duration, and sound, then tap Save to Photos. The first save may require permission to add photos and videos. After the success message, check the file in Photos.
What the other buttons do
Keep Processing takes the result into tool selection. Share File opens sharing options. Done closes the result page; it does not save to Photos.
Troubleshooting
This trims time, not the canvas
Trim Video chooses which moments to retain. Use Resize / Canvas to adjust aspect ratio or canvas layout.
Frequently asked questions
How do I keep a segment from the middle?
Move the left handle to the first moment you want and the right handle to the last. For example, 00:10–00:16 retains six seconds. Check the displayed range, then play the export to catch an action or word cut off at either edge.
Why does Even Split open VIP?
Even Split requires VIP. Use Select Segment to keep one time range.
