How to Remove Parts from a Video Online

Every recording has parts you'd rather not share — a flubbed sentence, a long pause, a wrong screen, or a tangent that doesn't belong. Here's how to remove any section from a video using REQO's browser-based editor.

Method 1: Remove Using the Transcript (Fastest)

REQO automatically transcribes your video's audio. To remove a section:

  1. Open the transcript view.
  2. Find the text corresponding to the part you want to cut.
  3. Highlight it — just like selecting text in a document.
  4. Press Delete or click the cut button.
  5. The video and audio are both removed at exactly that point.

This works best for spoken content — interviews, tutorials, walkthroughs, presentations.

Method 2: Remove Using the Timeline

For cutting sections that don't have speech — a screen you accidentally showed, a moment of silence, a visual mistake:

  1. Open the timeline view.
  2. Click and drag to select the range you want to remove.
  3. Right-click and choose 'Delete section' or press Backspace.
  4. The remaining clips close the gap automatically.

After Removing Sections

  • Preview the cut to make sure it flows naturally.
  • If the audio sounds choppy, try cutting earlier or later — cuts on breaths or natural pauses are less noticeable.
  • Export when you're happy with the result.
