How to Trim a YouTube Video
Keep the Part of Your Video That Matters
Trim the Start and End
Drag the edges of the clip inward to cut a slow introduction or a long sign-off. This is useful when the recording started before you were ready, kept running after the point was made, or simply needs to be short enough to hold attention.
Remove a Section From the Middle
Split the clip on either side of a sponsor read, a long pause, or a mistake, then delete that section and pull the remaining pieces together. Everything outside the cut stays exactly as it was, so you are not re-editing the parts that already worked.
Resize for Shorts and TikTok
Trim the clip first, then change the aspect ratio to 9:16. The safe zone guides show which part of the frame stays visible once captions and interface buttons cover the edges, so nothing important ends up hidden behind them.
Split One Video Into Several
Cut a long recording into separate clips and export each one individually. This is useful when a single upload covers several topics, or when you want to post one highlight now and hold the rest back for later in the week.

Why Use Flixier to Trim YouTube Videos
Start From a Link
Paste a YouTube URL, and Flixier imports the video into your library, so the file never needs to be downloaded to your computer. This is useful when the original runs long or when you are working on a device with little storage left.
Let Eva Edit for You
Describe the cuts you want, and Eva, Flixier's built-in AI assistant, handles the manual work. Describe what you are trying to do, and Eva will analyze the footage and execute the changes directly on your timeline.
Add Captions and Voiceovers
Generate subtitles automatically and translate them into 100+ languages, or create an AI voiceover from a script. Your subtitles move with the clip and stay synchronised when you adjust the trim.
Publish Without Re-Uploading
Send the finished clip back to your YouTube channel from inside Flixier, setting a title, description, and keywords before it goes live. There is no exporting the file and uploading it again between the edit and the post.
Unlike any tool
you've used before
“I have over 11 years in the broadcast industry, building teleproductive facilities, using high-end editing equipment. And this is better than anything else I've used in my lifetime.”
Still have questions?
We got you!
Can I trim a YouTube video without downloading it?
Yes. Flixier imports the video from the link you paste, so nothing has to be saved to your computer first. You trim it in the browser and export only the section you kept.
Can I publish the trimmed video back to YouTube?
Yes. Flixier connects to your channel, so you can publish straight from the editor once you're happy with the cut, adding a title, description, and keywords before it goes live.
Is the YouTube trimmer free?
Flixier has a free plan that allows for up to 2GB of storage, 10 minutes of exports, and 5 minutes of subtitles per month. If you need more, paid subscriptions are also available and offer additional features, including some unlimited options. Check out our pricing plans for more information.
