Need to trim a 13 second video. Can anyone help?

[Dario]

A small device I bought on Shopee doesn't work. The seller's admin asked to send them a video. I did that. My video is just 13 seconds, measures 90 MB. But only videos up to 30 MB are allowed. How can I trim this video for free?

 

Can anyone help? Any help is very much appreciated!

If you Google "Trim video online" there are any number of sites that will allow you to upload your video online. If you want to trim a video offline you can download Avidemux. If you're doing it on a smartphone search for a trim video app.

 

Hope that helps.

if you have an Android phone then open the Gallery, then this video, and check the "three dots" menu while the video is open. Some phones have a function to shrink or trim a large video.

If there is no such option then you could lower the video quality in any video editor on the computer, I personally use this one https://shotcut.org/ although it might be too complex for such a simple job.

 

yea Avidemux should be easier  https://sourceforge.net/projects/avidemux/files/avidemux/2.8.1/

I use this free online software. 

 

Video Compressor | Reduce Video File Size Online (freeconvert.com)

follow this guide

but experiment with the presets, 1080 is maybe a bit too high (and will increase file size)

Thank you for your contributions. Googling my problem I found this free tool: https://online-video-cutter.com/ Perfect!

Yes, trimming is not going to work. Instead you need to re-compress it.

 

Easiest is VLC (videolan.org) which is also an excellent video player.

 

In top menu, select Convert / Stream. Then choose your original file, and resize the video, lower the frame rate, possibly remove the audio, and set the bitrate like 1000 kbps (which is plenty). Then export to a new file, which you then share. It should only be a couple of MB in size.

Why not buy a decent software and use it ? These applications are not that expensive anymore and you would be ready for any other future use - provided you choose a software not based on a rental model (unfortunately many are now only available like this)

 

I assume you have a Windows based system. Of course the minimum requirements need to be checked beforehand and then you can buy it online via download. If this is OK, you could choose for example "Corel Video Studio". This is what I use in its 2019 version right now.

Indeed.

Just download a youtube "shorts" with length of 8 seconds in 1080p (HD resolution).

3.54 MB. Scaled to 13 sec this would be about 5.7 MB !

 

What hell machine produced 90 MB for 13 sec?

It that some uncompressed or 8k or ?

I would upload it through Tiktok, edit /save/ download.

Alternativeliy leave as private on tiktok and send them the link to watch it. 

All totally free.

 

You could also upload it free to googledrive and send them a link to watch it.

Need a recommendation for a PC tool for video editing. Need to cut a few different videos and merge them into one. 

You could try

and / or 

 

factory format

 

FormatFactory - Download (lo4d.com)

 

Have fun with these two, as I use them both.

... if on Windows you can use the onboard Photos app as well, no need for extra tools ...

You can use this video cutter. It's very intuitive and easy to use for editing videos. It's supports all video formats and also can reduce file size if you also need this.

It was already proposed to upload to some video platform.

I would stick to YouTube.

13 seconds should be like 5 MB in high quality.
