Windows 10: Issue with whole windows service after trimming a video

Hello everyone,I'm here to explain you a recent problem that my pc got in the last two days:I encountered the problem yesterday 28/11/2024 because sometimes, when I play on a videogame, I like to save the past 2-3 minutes of me playing when I do some cool action during a match; then, when I end the match, I always go to trim the video, since it saves the last 2-3 minutes when i press "Save", but maybe I just need the last 20 or 30 seconds.Yesterday, after cutting 1 video, i opened it and: it was very very opaque, more than the original video saved saved with NVIDIA App, I will insert 2 ima

How to Trim Video on Windows 11?

Trimming a video on Windows 11 can be accomplished using the built-in "Photos" app. The app offers basic video editing capabilities, including trimming. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to trim a video:

1. Locate the video you want to trim and right-click on the video file. You can choose to open with the Photos app.

2. Once the video is open in the Photos app, you will see different options at the top. Click on the Edit & Create dropdown.

3. From the dropdown menu, select Trim. A timeline of the video will appear at the bottom. There, you'll find two sliders (one at the beginning and one at the end of the timeline).

4. Drag these sliders to define the start and end points of the portion of the video you want to keep.

5. Once you're satisfied with the selected portion, click on the Save a copy button. This will save the trimmed video as a new file, leaving the original video unchanged.

6. After clicking Save a copy, you will be prompted to choose a location to save the trimmed video. Navigate to where you want to save it, assign a name to the new video file, and click Save.

That's it! You've successfully trimmed a video on Windows 11 using the Photos app. Remember that this method provides basic trimming capabilities. If you need more advanced video editing features, consider using third-party software instead.

Microsoft Photos - problem with video trimming

Hi Greg,

thanks for your feedback. However, the links provided do not address my issue. I will repeat the procedure on how to reporduce the problem I reported, with Photos Version 2023.10030.7003.0:

1) I have a video which original aspect ratio is 16:9

2) Right click on the video and choose Open in Photos

3) Once video is open in Photos, I choose Trim (a button located on the top stripe, Trim (CTRL +E))

4) Then I choose start and end of the trimmed video and choose "Save as copy"

5) Resulting video has ascept ratio 4:3, which is a bug in the application

What I wanted to point out is that this refers to a bug in the Photos application, because Trim operation is expected to produce the exact same video format, with same codec, bitrate, aspect, etc..

Furthermore, when I open a video in Photos app, there is no option to set aspect or anything else. To be more precise, any application which opens a video should respect aspect ration embedded in the video file itself, but seems Photos don't respect it.

I definitely don't want to use Video Editor, with so many unecessary additional steps like "New Project", "Import Video" (which makes another copy in the Library).

My intention was to do simple trimming on many video files, with just 3 steps, Open in Photos, Trim, Save As. But this operation changes the aspect of the original video, and this is the exact problem I am trying to report
