Trimming a WebM and keeping it a WebM
WebM is the open, royalty-free container built for the web. It is what most browser-based screen recorders produce, and VP9 packs the same picture into noticeably less data than H.264.
The output format is set to WebM before you start, so what you download is the same kind of file you uploaded: nothing downstream that expects a WebM has to be told about a new format. If you would rather have something that plays everywhere, switch the output to MP4 in the panel.

Before you trim a WebM
A WebM straight out of a browser recorder often has no duration in its header, so players show no length and cannot seek. Converting writes a complete file with a proper duration.
iMovie, the iPhone Photos app and many editing tools will not import WebM at all, so it usually needs converting before it can be edited anywhere else.
trim webm: questions
Will it stay a WebM?
Yes. The output is pre-set to WebM, so the trimmed file downloads as WebM. You can change it to MP4 or another format in the panel before exporting.
Does trimming a WebM lose quality?
The part you keep is re-encoded once at a high quality target, so it is not bit-for-bit identical, but it is indistinguishable at normal playback. Editing the same file over and over will eventually show, so keep your original.
Is trimming WebM free?
Yes. Trim and preview free, and a free account downloads the result. Free exports and share pages include a small REQO badge. Go Pro to remove it.
