Tips for Better Video Trimming

1. Preview Before Trimming — Always preview your selection to make sure you captured the right segment.
2. Leave Small Buffers — Add a half-second buffer before and after your desired clip to avoid cutting off important content.
3. Trim to Platform Requirements — Instagram Reels allow up to 90 seconds, TikTok up to 10 minutes, YouTube Shorts up to 60 seconds. Trim accordingly.
4. Use Keyboard Shortcuts — If available, use arrow keys for frame-by-frame precision when setting trim points.
5. Consider the Audio — Make sure your trim points do not cut off speech mid-sentence or music at awkward points.
6. Save the Original — Always keep the original video file. You can always re-trim if needed.
