What is video trimmer suitable for?
Video trimming exports a short clip from a local video. After the user enters a start time and duration, the tool calls ffmpeg.wasm in the browser and exports MP4.
The first version uses lightweight inputs instead of a full timeline. Keep the original file and preview the result before downloading.
Supported formats: MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI; single file limit: 500MB.
