Trim feature removed in new Stream?
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)
Until this gets fixed by Microsoft, I found a workaround in the meantime is by uploading the video into Stream Classic. It takes time but once it's published the trim feature will appear. Be patient and check often because the feature does appear.
Also make sure to vote to add the feature to Stream (SharePoint) - https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/96afc2ae-2851-ec11-a819-0022484f07e1
It is a bummer that trim isn't on video files hosted in SharePoint but doing an additiional upload/download is an extra step rather than just editing locally (Windows and Mac both have tools in the OS to trim videos).
