Good to know
The smallest unit that can be trimmed is a key frame. The size of a key frame is determined by the content producer, not by RealTimes Trimmer.
Click Close to close RealTimes Trimmer without saving any changes.

You can trim to a section of a item, but you cannot connect two separate sections.
When you share a trimmed video, it will always upload to your Cloud storage.
You can use just the handles to set your start and end points.
The length of the trimmed version of the item displays just below the area between the handles.
