Fast cut or exact cut
MOV is Apple's video format: iPhones, Macs, QuickTime and Final Cut save to it. Outside Apple's apps, some Windows programs and upload forms don't take it.
A fast cut copies the video without re-encoding, so it starts at the nearest keyframe (a full picture stored every second or two): the clip may begin a moment early, but it takes seconds and keeps the original quality.
An exact cut re-encodes so the clip starts on the frame you chose. It's slower in the browser, but right when the first frame matters.
Frequently
Asked Questions
Why does my trimmed clip start a little early?
Fast mode cuts at the nearest keyframe. Use the exact cut for a frame-accurate start.
Does trimming lose quality?
Fast mode doesn't. Exact mode re-encodes once.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It's processed in your browser, on your own device, and never leaves it.
