Trim to Playhead

Cut the overlay at the playhead position. ONLY use when user explicitly mentions 'playhead', 'current position', 'trim here', or 'cut here'. Do NOT use for 'make shorter' or 'reduce duration' — use make_shorter instead.

How It Works

Trims overlay end to playhead_frame. Only use when the user references the playhead or current position.
