🤓 Why use a video trimmer?
There are plenty of professional video editing tools out there, but to make sure your experience in creating a VR scenario is flawless and uninterrupted, we’ve added the Trim Video function as part of Warp Studio itself. ✂️
Why would a trimming function be used?
- Often, when recording 360˚ videos, filming crews call out the scene number or other scene details before the very start of the scene, which needs to be later cut off for the final version of the VR scenario.
- To remove trailing seconds (from a specific time) that are not needed in a video.
- To use one part of the video in one scene and another part in another scene. In this case, the video can be duplicated and each copy trimmed according to the scene needs.

You can trim a video in two ways:
- Slide the beginning and/or end of the trimming slider, to navigate from where you’d like your video to start or where to end.
