FAQs

Will trimming reduce video quality?

If using same format and codec, quality is preserved. Re-encoding may slightly reduce quality depending on settings.

What video formats can I trim?

Most formats including MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV, WMV, FLV. MP4 (H.264) is most compatible and recommended.

How accurate is video trimming?

Modern trimmers are frame-accurate. Some formats require keyframe seeking which may be accurate to ~1-2 seconds.

What is the best format for trimmed videos?

MP4 (H.264) offers best compatibility across devices and platforms. MOV for Apple ecosystem. WebM for web use. AVI for editing. Use MP4 unless specific need. Maintains quality while keeping reasonable file size.

Does trimming reduce video quality?

No if you use "copy" mode (no re-encoding). Yes if re-encoding. Re-encoding applies compression, reducing quality. Use lossless formats (ProRes, FFV1) for editing, MP4 for final output. Trim before effects to preserve quality.

How do I trim without re-encoding?

Use tools with "stream copy" or "direct copy" mode. FFmpeg with -c copy flag. Only works at keyframes (I-frames), not exact frames. Fast processing, no quality loss, but limited precision. Re-encode for exact frame trimming.
