How to Trim Video Online for Free

Trimming video is the first thing every editor does after recording. Remove the awkward pause at the start, the scramble to hit stop at the end, and any dead air in the middle. With REQO's browser-based editor, you can trim any video in under a minute — for free.

How to Trim the Start and End

1. Open REQO and upload your video, or open a recording you just made.
2. In the timeline, drag the left handle inward to trim the beginning.
3. Drag the right handle inward to trim the end.
4. Press play to preview your trim points.
5. Export or share when you're happy.

How to Trim the Middle (Remove a Section)

To remove a section from the middle of a video:

1. Use the transcript view — REQO auto-transcribes your video's audio.
2. Highlight the words that correspond to the section you want to remove.
3. Click delete. The video and audio are both cut instantly.

No manual trim handles, no keyframes, no splitting clips. Just highlight and delete.

Trimming Tips

• Always trim the start and end before doing anything else — it's the fastest win.
• Use the transcript to find and cut 'um', 'uh', and long pauses.
• Preview before exporting to make sure cuts are clean.
