Video Trim by Wiro (Clip Cutter)

Overview

Video Trim is a Wiro-native video utility that extracts one continuous section from a longer video. You choose where the clip starts and where it stops, using seconds or a timecode. It outputs a new trimmed clip you can use in editors, pipelines, and content workflows. This solves the common problem of needing a clean highlight or segment without manual timeline editing.

What you can build

• Create short highlights from long recordings for social posts
• Cut intros, outros, or dead air from screen recordings
• Extract a specific chapter from a lecture or webinar
• Prepare shorter clips for downstream models like captioning or transcription
• Produce consistent clips for A/B tests in ad creative workflows

Inputs

• One input video file provided as an uploaded file or a direct URL. Common upload formats include MP4, MOV, and WebM.
• A required start time for the cut. You can provide it as seconds (for example, 12.5) or as a timecode (for example, 00:01:02).
• An optional end time for the cut, provided as seconds or timecode. You must provide an end time unless you provide a duration.
• An optional duration for the cut, provided as seconds or timecode. If you provide duration, it overrides the end time.

Outputs

• One trimmed video clip that contains the continuous segment starting at your chosen start time.
• The result is returned as a downloadable video file hosted by the platform, typically exposed as a file name plus a URL you can store or pass to other tools.

Limitations

• You must provide a start time plus either an end time or a duration.
• If you provide both end time and duration, the duration wins and the end time is ignored.
• If the requested clip runs past the remaining video length, the output is shortened to the available remainder.
• Timestamp accuracy can degrade with problematic source files. Corrupt containers, missing metadata, variable frame rate, or broken timestamps can shift cut boundaries.
• Very large uploads may fail if you rely on platform upload limits. Prefer direct URLs when your files exceed typical upload caps.

Safety & compliance

• Only trim and redistribute content you have rights to use.
• Don’t use this tool to produce or republish content that violates privacy, consent, or local laws.
• If the video includes personal data, confirm you have permission before sharing the output clip.
