Of course, when we are talking about editing a video in a professional way, with all kinds of video effects or sound overlapping, it certainly requires complicated, specialized and expensive tools. Such programs include Adder Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas Pro, Pinnacle Studio, Motave Video Editor and others. But if all you need is to cut a piece of video to send it in a messenger or post to a social network, there can be easier ways to make it possible. And this is what we are talking about in this video. In Windows 10, beginning with Fall Creators update, version 1709, you can use movies and TV or photos integrated tools to cut or trim a video. It can be very convenient if you don't want to install any third party programs and you don't need to change the video quality, resolution or other options, as Windows integrated tools cannot change the quality of the edited video fragment. Let's have a look at both methods. To edit a video with the Photos tool, open it with this application. To do it, go to the folder where it is stored, right-click on it and select from the menu Open with Photos. While the video is playing, you will see the toolbar in the right upper corner of the window. If you don't see it, left-click on the playing video and the toolbar will appear. To edit the video, choose Edit and Create – Trim. The Trim tool doesn't show you any options. Just select the desired part of a video by dragging two handles fashioned like white circles – one to show the beginning and the other to show the end of the piece of video you want to cut out, and click on the play button to view the fragment you have chosen. When you are done, click Save and Copy to save a copy of the trimmed part of the video. It can take some time depending on the site of the resulting video file. Wait until the save operation is complete and the edited file with the same name plus the word Trim will appear in the same folder where the source file is. This is the video fragment you have just cut out. To edit a video with the Movies and TV tool, open it with this application. To do it, go to the folder where it is stored, right-click on it and select from the menu Open with Movies and TV. As the video is playing, click on the Edit icon fashioned like a pencil in the lower right corner of the window. Select the option Trim. The video will be opened in the third is Apps window. Now you can trim a video in the same way as we did it when using the Photos tool. If you are using a Windows 10 version before – Fall Creators update version 1709, Windows 8 or even Windows 7 – but you have a good internet connection, you can also edit videos with one of the many free specialized online tools. Let's have a look at some of them. Online Video Counter If you need to edit a video which is less than 500 megabytes, your perfect choice could be Online Video Counter. You will find the link in the description. This tool is free and supports all popular video formats. In addition to editing a video from your computer, you can also download it from Google Drive or upload it by URL, with the direct link to the video file with the file extension added at the end. Online Video Counter is very easy to use. Click on the button opened file and upload it to the online app. Set the blue sliders to the beginning and the end of the fragment. Click on the green play button to watch the fragment you want to cut out. Set the quality and format for the fragment you cut out of the video. After that, click on the Cut button. The tool will perform the operation and suggest you to save the fragment. Save it to your convenient location. YouTube YouTube Video Editor is a free online editor allowing you to combine clips into a new video, cut and trim videos, add music and effects and share your clips on YouTube in a single click. There are only two disadvantages. The complicated interface and a very serious approach to protecting contents of other right holders. To cut a video with YouTube, you should have an account. To upload a video you want to edit, click on the camera shape icon with the plus symbol on it. Select a video on your computer and upload it to YouTube. You don't have to publish it. You can make this video private, so only you will be able to see it. After that, go to the uploaded video and select Edit video. YouTube Studio opens. Go to Edit – Trim. Select the part of the video you want to cut out by moving the blue frames. After that, click on the button Preview – Save. YouTube will tell you that processing the video will take some time. When the operation is over, download the video. To do it, go to your videos, select the Options menu next to the modified video and click Download. Of course, there are many various online tools like that. I don't see any point in making a review on every app, as the essential principles behind the work are very similar. I will leave the links to several other tools in the description. If your task is more complicated than just trimming or cutting a video, you can use a specialized video editing program. Such software is usually expensive and difficult to master, so beginners may have a hard time dealing with such tools. That's why we are going to consider several simple and free options with limited functionality but easier for novice users to understand.
