How it works
The trimmer uses MediaSource APIs to crop the WebM without re-encoding the surviving frames. That's why it's near-instant and doesn't lose quality.
If you trim a WebM and want MP4 output, trim first, then run the result through the MP4 converter.
Limitations
- You can only trim the start and end. To cut a middle section, use a desktop editor (DaVinci Resolve is free).
- Very long recordings (60+ minutes) may take a few seconds to load. The trimmer is doing real work; it'll finish.
