Trim your content

Trim the beginning and end of your library videos

Trimming your content is essential for delivering polished, engaging media. Membership.io's trimming feature lets you easily cut unwanted sections from videos like intros or dead air to ensure a seamless experience.

Step 1 - Access the content

Head to your Library and locate the content to edit.

Hover the mouse over the content. Click the three-dot menu option that appears and then click Trim.

You can also access the same setting by opening the file and clicking the Trim icon.

Step 2 - Trim the video according to your preference

The slide-out panel acts as your canvas. Here are all the awesome things you can do with the trimming feature:

• Trim your video clip by dragging the handles on the left and right sides.
• Move the selected part of video content anywhere in the timeline.
• Adjust your clip's start and end times by clicking on each box and entering the desired time.
• Use your keyboard's left and right arrow keys to move the playhead five seconds into the timeline for each keypress.
• You can also snap to the current position of the playhead on the timeline easily. For example, clicking the "Snap to Current Time" button in the Start field allows you to set a new start time for your video content when the playhead is near the left trim handle. Similarly, you can adjust the end time when the playhead is positioned near the right trim handle.

Below is a quick demonstration:

Step 3 - Save your file

Once you're happy with your edits, don't forget to click the Save button and choose to save it as a new file or replace the existing one. 

NOTE: Selecting "Saving as New File" won't take additional space or use up your upload hours in your account.
