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)
The feature is gone from the new Stream and the page to vote the change back, as with many other pages with many votes, is "missing." 
The following is NOT a SOLUTION BUT is what I do and what works for me and my situation:
1) Download the video from Streams and then delete it. (I also download the transcript as a .vtt file to be safe).
2) Upload the video to the Stream Classic (it suggests you to use the new version OR, tiny at the bottom, to keep uploading to Classic). I choose to upload it to Classic.
3) Upload the .vtt file I downloaded earlier as subtitle (I haven't taken the time to compare the A.I. auto captions on Classic VS. Auto caption on Streams SharePoint but, I rather have excess than not enough).
3) Trim it.
To me, this way is faster than downloading and editing in my favorite video editor (Davinci Resolve) and uploading back to the new Stream version. Granted, this is not a workaround for many people as most don't have access to fast download/upload internet speeds or hard drive space and because of that, this feature SHOULD BE BACK ASAP.
God bless you all with peace of mind and joy,

GeekyLady It seems as if even this solution does not work anymore. I am not allowed to upload a video to classic stream anymore. Instead it is uploaded to Stream Sharepoint where I can't trim it. It is a pity.
- I noticed this yesterday too - not good.
