Zooming In on Your Project

First things first, when you open your project, it’s essential to zoom in a bit so that you can see what you’re doing more clearly. You can do this by moving to the right side of the window where you will find a zoom option. Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts: press Control + Plus to zoom in and Control + Minus to zoom out. This will give you a better view of your video timeline.

Trimming the Video

Method 1: Using the Trim Tool

The most straightforward method for trimming your video is by hovering your cursor over the start or end of the clip. You'll notice that the cursor changes to a double-arrow icon.

  1. Place your cursor at the start or the end of the video clip.
  2. Click and hold the mouse button.
  3. Drag to the left or right to trim the video to your desired length.
  4. Release the mouse button, and your video is now trimmed!

Method 2: Splitting the Clip

Another efficient way to trim your video is to use the split tool:

  1. Move the cursor to the location where you want to make the cut.
  2. Press the Split button located in the toolbar or simply press Control + B. This will create a split in the video at that point.
  3. If you wish to trim a segment from the middle of the clip, you will need to make another split at the end of the segment you want to remove.
  4. Once you have the unwanted section split out, select it and click on the bin icon or press the Delete key to remove it.

By using these two methods, you can easily trim your videos in CapCut.
