Steps for Trimming a Video

Hi Shari,

There is a really good tutorial on editing videos here.

Antony

Hey, Antony...this is exactly what I needed...thank you so much!

Hi Antony,

Can you delete a chunk of video from the middle? For example, from a 2-minute video, I want to delete the portion between second 24 and second 49. Is this possible?

Hi, Maggie, and welcome. I'm pretty sure that is not possible in the current Storyline editing tool. Pretty sure you can just "trim" from beginning and end. Someone please correct me, if I'm wrong.

You would be right though Daniel.  

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes Maggie!

Apparently the link to the tutorial you suggested to Shari Hanlon a year or so ago regarding a tutorial on editing video is no longer in the newest e-Learning Heroes version site.  I am trying to trim about 10 seconds from the end of a video.  Do you still have those steps?

Thanks,

Marge

Hi Marge,

Articulate has a written tutorial for trimming videos within Storyline here.

Hi Marge - sorry that you ran into that trouble, we are finding some links here and there since the update.

Thanks Belen for sharing :)

Yes, I got my video trimmed. Now all I have to do is get in more practice with layers. :)

Thank you.

Hello everyone, I have tried with mp4, but I was unable to trim it, could anyone help me to do it in? Thanks in advance.

Hi Munmun,

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes! 🌟

I'm happy to walk you through trimming a video in Storyline 360. After you've added the .mp4:

1. Right-click on the video and select Edit Video, or if the .mp4 is selected, you can select the Video Tools ribbon and click on Edit Video.
2. When the Video Editor pops up, select the Trim option, and drag the start and end markers to where you'd like to trim the video.
3. Select Save and Close once you're done.

I hope this helps!

Thank you so much Ren, it was quite helpful. :)

Hey friends,

I am trying to remove a small section in the middle of the video.  The trimming is driving me nuts!  How do I isolate a few seconds of the video and cut it?

I am working in Articulate 360. I have tried all the suggestions regarding trimming the video (.mp4)  at the end. Nothing is working! 

Hi, Sharria.

Thank you for reaching out! Let me ask you a few questions to narrow down the issue:

• Are you trying to trim the video from within Storyline?
• Do you get any error messages?
• If you follow the instructions in this article, can you tell me where you get stuck or which steps you have questions about?

Thank you Ren, I stumbled on this post and this is exactly what I needed. 

I'm glad that this conversation was able to help you as well, Michele. I appreciate you chiming in to share, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊

HI, 

Is there a way in Articulate Storyline to trim a middle portion of a video?  I cannot seem to find the answer or a tutorial on this. Thanks for your help!

There is not, which makes sense. SL is an authoring tool, not a video editor. That said, there are free tools that work well, like MS Photo. Many commercial apps offer a free version that will work well enough. Almost all of them are easier to use for video editing than SL, and give better results.

This is not a question I recall asking.
