    Unable to save trimmed video in Microsoft Photos


    I use Movies & TV to play my videos and use the trim feature on their to make them shorter and save them so I can get rid of unnecessary space. The Trim is done through Microsoft Photos and up until a week ago it worked perfectly fine. Now when I trim the video to my liking and hit save & copy and select the destination it just says 'Unable to Save'. I have tried to reset and repair the photos app and uninstalled/reinstalled Movies & TV app and nothing has worked.

    :)

    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

    Unable to save trimmed video in Microsoft Photos

    Microsoft Photos Fails to Save Trimmed Video

    Hello,

    I am attempting to use Microsoft Photos to trim some videos. I set the sliders to the portion of video I want, and I click "Save As." The video file name shows up in the folder I selected to save it in, and it starts to show an increasing file size, while
    the Photos app shows a progress bar over the video. But about 20% of the way thru, it just stops. The partially-completed file disappears from the folder, and Photos goes back to the editing screen with the sliders and no progress bar. It does not give any
    error message or indication that anything went wrong.

    I have tried restarting my computer.

    I have tried Troubleshoot, Repair, and Reset.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software.

    I have checked for updates for both the Photos app and Windows.

    I have checked for old registry keys.

    I have changed permissions on my WindowsApp folder.

    It has worked a few times, but now it will not complete saving the trimmed file.

    These videos are about 45-50 minutes long, and approximately 2 Gb.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thank you.
