- Hey, everyone, Alec here with VEED.
And in this video I'm going to be showing you
- [Alec] how to trim clips online.
So let's say you have a video
and you want to remove the end
or you want to remove the beginning of that video.
Or there may even be a part
of that video in the middle that you want to remove.
Well, in this video, I'm going to be showing you
exactly how to do that, right now.
And we're going to be using an
online video editor called VEED.
- [Alec] So, you can either head over to Google
and Google VEED which is V.E.E.D
and then click on the first link. If not, as usual,
the link's going to be in the description down below.
So once you're on VEED,
if you don't already have an account
you can go ahead and create an account for free.
And if you do have an account,
- [Alec] we're just going to click
on the create new project button right here
and now we're in a new project
and this is where we want to upload
the video clip that we want to trim.
So here, I'm just going to upload a file.
I'm going to select the clip
on my computer and click on open.
And now as we can see
it's imported into VEED and if I click play,
(skateboard rolling)
we have this cool clip, even
if I do say so myself, of me skateboarding.
- [Alec] So basically I want to trim off
the end of this clip as soon
as I disappear out the frame,
and to do so, it's very simple.
So first, I'm going to find the area where I disappear
from the video, so right about here.
So now there's a couple
of ways I can trim off the end of the video.
- [Alec] First of all, I can just hover over
the end of the clip
and click and drag to trim off the end, just like so,
but if I want to be really precise,
I can place the play head exactly where I want to
make the cut and then go ahead and click split.
And this has basically split my clip
into two separate clips.
- [Alec] So now what I have to do is to delete the clip
that I want to remove.
If I right click on this, I can click delete just like so
or I can hit delete on my keyboard.
- [Alec] So now if I play my video back...
(skateboard rolling)
As you can see it restarts as soon as I've left the frame.
But let's say you want to remove
a middle part of your video.
Well, to do so, it's very simple.
- [Alec] If I wanted to remove the part where I kick flip
in this video, so I make the skateboarding jump.
I find the area where I want to make the first cut,
I click split, and then I'm going to find
the area where I want to make the second cuts,
place my play head right there,
and again, just click split.
And now, all I have to do is to remove this middle section,
to right click on it, click delete, or again
I can hit delete on the keyboard,
and what I need to make sure I do is click
and drag this clip back and stick it to the first one.
So now if I press play from the beginning...
(skateboard rolling)
- So as you can see, I've cut out
the middle part of a video.
So I want to actually post this clip
to Instagram as a square feed post
and I'm just gonna quickly change the aspect ratio.
- [Alec] So as you can see here, we currently have the
9:16 aspect ratio, and I want to change this
into the square 1:1 aspect ratio to post it
as a video on the Instagram feed.
To do so, I'm just going to go
into the settings tab in the left toolbar.
And then under the size section right here,
I'm just going to click on the drop down menu
and then here choose the square 1:1 aspect ratio.
If you want to post it to a different social media platform,
there are a bunch of different other aspect ratios
that you can take a look at.
If I select square, as you can see
we now have these square 1:1 aspect ratio.
And now all I need to make sure I do is just
quickly resize my clips, so they fill out
this square aspect ratio.
Now I can either click and drag just like so to fill it out
or my favorite way is just to click fill the canvas,
and then I need to make sure I do so for both clips.
And now if I play it through from the beginning...
(skateboard rolling)
- As you can see I have my square video,
obviously with the kick flip removed,
so I'm not actually going to post this one right here,
but I will re edit it and post it to my Instagram.
- [Alec] So now I'm happy with my trimmed and edited clip.
All I'm going to do is click
on the export button in the top right,
and here we are now in the export settings.
Now, I can click on advanced
and play around with the settings,
but what I highly suggest you do,
if you're posting it to Instagram just like me,
is to open up this drop down menu here,
and we're going to choose
some preset export settings for Instagram.
So if I scroll down all the way here
and I find this Instagram preset, as you can see here
it says users Instagram recommended settings.
Now, if I choose this,
click on export my video
and now VEED renders my video with
the best possible video settings
for Instagram, so it uploads
to Instagram with the best quality possible.
- [Alec] Now, if we take a look, I can go ahead
and preview my video after it's rendered.
(skateboard rolling)
Just like, so, and then if I want to
I can download it as an MP4 file.
I can download it as a GIF.
I can go ahead and edit the video again
or I can copy the link
and share this directly with a friend.
And that is how to trim a video.
That's how to split a video.
And that is how to cut out the middle part of a video.
