I'm trying to trim the beginning of an mp4 file, but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, Shelley.
Thank you for reaching out!
If you right-click the video on the timeline, do you have an Edit Video option?
Let me know if you're experiencing something different!

Hi, I'm not Shelley, but I'm having this issue. I can get into the video editor. I can click trim and drag the Trim end to the right. But when I click Play, it plays for a fraction of a second and stops. Am I doing something wrong?
Hi Alison,
I tried replicating the behavior you encountered on my, but I was unable to do so using one of my video files.
I'd like to ask a few questions to help clarify your experience:
- Are you able to replicate the behavior using any video file? Or is the behavior isolated to one specific video file?
- Are you working locally when making edits to your video?
- Does doing a repair of your Storyline 360 installation make a difference?
If the issue persists across all video files, and after you do a repair of your installation, reach out to our support team here for further assistance.

Multiple videos. I'm working locally. I just installed an update and I'm still experiencing this.
Hi Alison,
If repairing your installation doesn't help, please provide me with the following so I can take a closer look at the behavior:
- Copies of affected video files. I'll try to re-encode these videos using a tool called Handbrake to see this changes anything.
- Exact steps to replicate the behavior. You can make a recording of the behavior so we can test it as accurately as possible. For Articulate 360 subscribers, Peek 360 is the quickest way to record a screencast, and it's available for Windows and Mac. Follow the steps below:
-
Launch Peek 360 on your computer and click New Recording.
-
Select the application you want to record, then choose a microphone (if you have one) when the recording window appears.
-
Click the red Record button and reproduce the issue.
-
When you're finished, click Done on the recording control bar or click the Peek 360 icon in your system tray (by the clock).
-
You can preview your recording, give it a name, and then click Upload to send it to your Articulate 360 account.
-
Windows will notify you when it's done uploading, and a link to your screencast will automatically be copied to your clipboard.
-
Share the link with us.

Looking forward to your response!

I have submitted an IT ticket to have Storyline repaired. Can you give me a private way to share the video files? The current issue that I'm having is I can't hear any audio when I try to edit the video. That makes it hard to figure out how much to trim off the front. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/05f8bbe5-e992-4c14-9ac9-567d25eabe30/review
