Windows 10: Editing a Video in Photos

Hello, all!


I used to be able to "trim" a video in Photos, but now I am unable to do so. It won't let me save it at all. I can exit out, but the "save as" button is not on and will not work. I used to do this all the time!


I also tried to use Video Editor and uploaded the video, but it only allows me to edit a Zoom video as a photo. Again, still cannot trim it at all. Very frustrating.


What is the best way to edit a video? I have one video that needs to be cut in half essentially.


Thank you for your help!

Can't edit text in Video Editor App

Can't edit or add text in any Video frame or title card.

I have tried following steps:

1. Upgrading Windows to latest build
2. Repairing the Photos App
3. Re-installing the Photos App

None of the above steps worked for me. Please let me know if anyone has a solution.

Thanks for the information.

If the issue happened after installing the Polarr Pro, we suggest that you uninstall the app first and check if the photo app will work.

To uninstall a program in Windows 10, follow these steps:

• Go to Control Panel.
• Click Programs.
• Look for Programs and Features.
• Right-click Polarr Pro.
• Click Uninstall.

Get back to us with the result.

 

Editing an existing Project MP4 File to reduce the content and change the name of the Project

Hi,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

Follow these steps and check if that helps:

• Right click the file and select ‘open with’ to click on Photo app. This will open the file in the Photo app.
  
• Now that you have opened the video file with the Photos app, click Edit & Create, and then click Trim option.
  
• Finally, click ‘Save a copy’ option to create a new video file by omitting the trimmed portion of the video. The new video file can be found at the location of the original video.
  

Suggest you to refer this article to edit a photo and check if that makes any difference.
