Clipchamp is a super simple, free video editor that’s built right into Windows 11. If you want to trim a video in windows 11, you can just open the app, drag your video onto the timeline, and use the handles on either side of the clip to cut it down. The whole thing is a breeze, no editing experience required.
Here’s the quick rundown on how to trim a video in windows 11 using Clipchamp:
- Get Started: Open Clipchamp from your Start menu. Click "Import Media" to upload your video, then drag it down to the timeline at the bottom.
- Trim It Down: Click on your video clip in the timeline, and you'll see little handles (white circles or bars) on the edges. Just drag one inward to chop off the start or the end.
- Remove Middle Parts (Optional): If you need to cut out a section in the middle, just move the playhead to where you want to cut and click the "Split" button (it looks like a pair of scissors). Then you can delete the unwanted piece.
- Clean Up Gaps: After trimming, you might see some empty spaces on the timeline. Right-click on a gap and choose "Delete this gap" to snap everything back together nicely.
That's all there is to it—once you're happy, just hit the export button to save your finished MP4.
