Will the video be cut at exactly the selected time?
The range is set in 0.1-second steps and re-encoded. Actual scene boundaries still follow the source frame rate, so a time between frames resolves to the nearest available video frame.
Why can a shorter result still be larger than expected?
File size depends on duration, source compression, motion, resolution, and the selected output quality. Re-encoding an already highly compressed source at High quality may produce a smaller-than-expected size reduction.
Can I keep the original MOV or WEBM format after trimming?
Trimming exports H.264 MP4 with AAC when audio is present. There is no stream-copy export preserving the source extension. Use a suitable editor when retaining the original container or a special codec is essential.
Can I trim a video with no audio track?
Yes. The video track is required, while audio is included only when present, so silent videos can also be trimmed.
Can a three-second cut fail because the source is large?
Yes. A short output does not avoid loading the source into the engine. The 400MB ceiling is not a success guarantee; under 300MB is recommended even on desktop. For repeated failures, export a smaller source segment in the original editor or use a desktop with more free memory.
