## How it works

The tool copies compressed streams between the selected start and end times.

## Result

A shorter file in the original supported container with unchanged video and audio quality.

## Limitations

Lossless cuts follow nearby keyframes, so the first frame may differ slightly from the requested start.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does trimming reduce quality?

No. Compatible streams are copied directly.

### Why can the start time differ slightly?

Lossless trimming begins at a nearby keyframe in compressed video.
