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):

The ability to edit or remove personal information from recordings is a much-needed feature that should be reinstated. Many recordings contain personal information that needs to be edited out or removed, and the only current option is to download, edit, and reupload the recording. This is a time-consuming and inconvenient process. It is frustrating when updates to software or services remove features that were previously available. This is a common habit in the IT world, and it is often done without any explanation or warning. It can be difficult to understand why a feature would be removed, especially when it is a useful and important one.
- Not only time-consuming and inconvenient!
I often end up with a video that is half the length and twice the size.- I have used this tool instead - and it is not just faster - it is also ridiculously fast.
The drawback is of course that you have to download the video-clip - cut it - and upload again.
(but since I always move the e.g. meeting recording from the sharepoint stream recording to the "classic stream" - that is a non-issue)

It would have been awesome if the lossless-cut could be an integrated feature - cause it is brilliant!lassewatt Good idea!
