How to
Trim a Video in Photos
Sometimes
we shoot videos on our iPhones and catch not only the event we want, but
the before and after moments too. For example, I want to make sure I catch
my teenage son running the 50-yard dash at his track meets, so I start my
iPhone recording sometimes several minutes before the starting gun fires.
When I go back to watch the video or show it to others, I would prefer not
to watch people walking back and forth and changing seats before the race
starts. This is where trimming (editing) the video comes in
handy.
Here’s how to
do it:
Locate the video
you want to trim in the Photos app and tap on it.
Drag the
white line in the top bar to fast forward or rewind the video.
When you
find the section of video you’d like to keep, drag the arrow markers to
the left or right of the video bar to contain the edited version. When you
have it just right tap the Trim button in the upper right-hand corner.
Tap on either Trim Original or Save as New Clip. Just
remember that if you choose Trim Original, all trimmed frames will be
permanently deleted. Choosing Save as New Clip will let you preserve the
original video and create a new file for the trimmed version.
