Trim Videos While Recompressing
March 20, 2026 • VideoRecompress Studio Team
Trim the start, the end or a time range of your videos in the same pass that recompresses them. No separate video editor, no intermediate file.
Four trim modes
Skip from start
Remove the first N seconds: countdowns, intros, recording lead-in.
Skip from end
Remove the last N seconds: outros or extra recording.
Keep first
Keep only the first N seconds of each video, for preview clips.
Custom range
Set exact start and end times and keep that segment.
Batch rule or single file
- Batch rule One trim rule for every selected video, for example skip the first 5 seconds of each file.
- Per-file override Right-click a video and choose Set Trim to give that file its own start and end. It overrides the batch rule.
How it works
- Add your videos Step 1, as usual.
- Enable trimming In Step 2, tick Enable trimming in the TRIM section.
- Pick a mode Choose a mode and enter the duration or time range.
- Optional: per file Right-click files in Step 1 to set their own ranges.
- Start Recompression Trimming and compression happen in one pass.
The integrity check adjusts its duration test for the trimmed output, so you can keep verification on.
Video trimming is in the latest version of VideoRecompress Studio.
