# How Do I Trim a Video?

Trimming is the most fundamental video editing skill. Whether you need to cut a few seconds from the beginning or remove an awkward pause in the middle, Envizion AI makes it simple with browser-based trimming that requires zero downloads.

Step-by-Step: Trim a Video in Envizion AI

1. Upload your clip — Drag and drop any MP4, MOV, or WebM file into the editor. Envizion AI supports files up to 4K resolution.

2. Select the clip on the timeline — Click the clip to reveal orange trim handles on both ends.

3. Drag the handles — Pull the left handle to trim the start or the right handle to trim the end. The preview updates in real time.

4. Split for mid-clip cuts — Position the playhead where you want to cut, then press S or click the split button. Delete the unwanted segment.

5. Export — Choose your format and resolution, then hit Export. Envizion AI renders in the cloud so your computer stays fast.

AI Smart Trim

Envizion AI offers an AI Smart Trim feature that automatically detects silence, filler words, and dead air. It highlights these sections so you can remove them with one click. This is especially useful for podcast clips, interview footage, and talking-head videos.

Tips for Clean Trims

• Use the waveform view to see audio peaks — this helps you avoid cutting mid-word.
• Add a short transition (crossfade or dip-to-black) between clips to smooth hard cuts.
• Preview before exporting to catch any jump cuts you missed.

Supported Formats

Envizion AI accepts all common video formats on import and can export to MP4 (H.264), WebM, MOV, and GIF. You can also choose from 363 templates that include pre-configured trim points for social media formats like YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok.
