How to Trim Videos in Sendspark

​

Key takeaways

• Videos can be trimmed from your library edit page or immediately after recording through the Chrome extension.
• In the edit page, click the scissors icon in the top toolbar to open the Trim modal, then drag the purple bars to trim the start or end.
• All Sendspark editing is non-destructive, so an “undo trim” button restores your original video if you cut too much.
• Trimming currently requires the Sendspark Chrome Extension.

2. Once in the Edit Page, you’ll notice a toolbar at the top area where you can find the scissors icon to trim the video:

3. That will open the Trim modal, where you can move the purple bars to trim the beginning or the end of the video. Once done, simply click save, wait for the confirmation, and close the window:

3. Drag the big bar to anywhere in your clip to watch a preview.
4. Click the play button on the video player or the space button on your keyboard to preview the clip.
