Trim feature removed in new Stream?
- Mar 14, 2023
I know that not having trim in Stream (on SharePoint) is painful. Full video editing will come with clipchamp being added to enterprise later this year.
It's been a long road for us in the product group to get to a plan for what to do in Stream. We apologize for how long it's taken us. It's not easy for us to just add back the ability that was in Stream (Classic) to SharePoint, the underlying architecture and storage is very different.
Thank you for all the feedback you've shared and all the votes in the ideas forum. We've finally been able to land on a design for a simple trim option directly in Stream. We aren't able to share a timeline or roadmap item yet until we get further on the engineering design and start coding.
Feel free to keep adding your votes and comments to this item in the Ideas forum. (I consolidated the other few ideas into this single one that joined all the votes together):
Support for video trimming (start, end, & middle) · Community (microsoft.com)
Update, for the first time today, I saw "Edit in Clipchamp" as an option in SharePoint/Stream files. It opened the video in a new browser and immediately began uploading the video. I quit the window as it was not my intention to start testing yet. But I did see a folder get auto created in the Teams File library where the original file was saved. In fact it is named "Video Project" Inside it are other folders and the .clipchamp file.
So more files to eat up space for sure. Uploading/Downloading clearly not efficient but lets see if it solves the problem of dead space in Teams meeting recordings...
