About Batch and Interactive Editor

How to use Interactive Editor

  1. Open Batch originals as a sequence, or choose Edit in editor to also carry your current settings.
  2. Select a clip to trim, split, slip, set speed, frame the picture or mix its sound. Add tracks, titles, images and music; Undo keeps changes reversible.
  3. Export MP4/WebM or explicitly save a project to keep originals and tracks editable. A recipe repeats the arrangement in either workflow mode.

Mode switching resumes independent sessions. Editor output uses one frame size up to a 1,920 px longest side / 30 fps, and re-encodes frames. Batch retains its existing fast operations and limits. Trim/Crop Batch still edit one video at a time.

Editor limits: 20 sources / 1 GB total, videos up to 500 MB and 15 minutes each, audio up to 50 MB / 15 minutes, 30-minute output. Saved projects include originals and their metadata. Recipes contain only settings and generic source slots; nothing is saved automatically.

How it works

How to trim a video in Batch

  1. Add one MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM video up to 500 MB.
  2. Drag across the filmstrip to select the part to keep, then move its handles to refine it. Tap to jump the preview there, or open Exact times to type start and end seconds. Press Play selection to check it.
  3. Click Trim video, play the result and download it. Use Also to crop, rotate, resize, compress or mute in the same pass.

Keep seconds 2–6 as a short excerpt

Try the 12-second practice MP4: a public synthetic video with labelled moving shapes and a quiet tone. Add it in Batch, open Exact times, set Start to 2 and End to 6, and leave Fast cut, copy when compatible off.

Press Play selection, then Trim video. Play the saved result to check the opening and ending before downloading your roughly four-second excerpt; cut boundaries follow the video's available frames. Fast cut can include earlier frames, so use the exact mode when the opening matters.

Batch keeps one continuous range. Use Interactive Editor to split and arrange several sections from the same recording.

Frequently asked questions

Useful details

5 answers
Can I arrange clips on a timeline?

Yes. Interactive Editor offers tracks, trim/split/slip, per-clip speed, framing, titles and audio mixing. Edit in editor carries Batch originals and settings. Each mode retains its own session.

Can I cut to an exact time?

Yes. Open Exact times and type the start and end in seconds to two decimal places, or use the filmstrip handles and arrow keys. Hold Shift with an arrow key to move a whole second.

What is a fast cut?

Video is stored as key frames with changes in between. A fast cut copies the original data from the key frame at or before your start, so compatible video can keep its encoded picture data, but it may include frames before your selection. A codec that cannot be copied into MP4 still needs re-encoding. Leave it off for frame-accurate cuts.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Trimming happens in your browser on this device and nothing is uploaded. The trimmed video is written to your browser’s private storage on this device while you work, and removed when you clear it or come back later.

Can I trim several parts?

Batch keeps one continuous section. Interactive Editor can split and arrange several sections. To keep a different part as well, trim again from the same original.
