Losing sound on Video Editor when undertaking a trim

Microsoft Photos now has a new video editor. Previously I could trim a video by a simple process and all was well with the trimmed version. Now I find that I have lost the sound when I undertake a trim using the new video editor; there is good sound on the untrimmed MP4 file . What steps am I missing please?

 

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

 

video editor in photos app trim precision

Hi Zoe,

Wondering if you have tried the trimming feature in the Clipchamp video editor. It was recently added to the Microsoft family, and you can find it in Microsoft Store if your workplace allows you to download.

Also thinking if you can zoom out the timeline of the current Video Editor whether it will allow you to trim better.

Thanks,
