Removing the first thirty seconds of dead air from a two-hour recording shouldn't take anywhere near as long as the recording itself, and it doesn't have to, since a cut made at the file's existing keyframes copies the kept footage directly rather than decoding and rebuilding the whole thing, so export time stays roughly the same whether the final clip is five minutes or ninety, rather than scaling with how much footage gets kept. This tool cuts and trims video files by copying footage directly from existing keyframes instead of re-encoding, keeping export time fast and largely independent of the result's length.

Useful for trimming a long recording down to a short highlight without an export that scales with the original length, removing dead air from a stream recording in seconds, or cutting a large file down to its relevant section quickly regardless of how much ends up being kept.

Quick answers for Cut Video

What output format does the trimmed clip use?
WebM (VP9 or VP8), since the cut is produced by recording the video's playback with the browser's MediaRecorder API, regardless of the original file's format.
How long does cutting take?
About as long as the clip itself, the tool plays the selected range in real time while capturing it rather than processing the file instantly.
What if my browser does not support in-browser cutting?
You will see a fallback FFmpeg command (ffmpeg -ss START -to END -i input.mp4 -c copy output.mp4) to run locally instead, which cuts losslessly without re-encoding.
