Windows 10: Using the trimming tool washes the color out of my video when trying to trim

recently the trimming tool for videos have been washing out the colors in my videos. Once a video has been trimmed and save to my computer, the colors have dulled. The videos i would trim are under DVR, i also dont use HDR, any way i can potentially fix this?

Trimmed Videos in Photos App are washed out

If i trim a clip of a video and trim out the beginning then the rest of the video will be washed out. I tested it and it only washes out the video if you trim out the beginning of the video. If the trim include the beginning then the colors will be normal
for the rest of the trim.

in the photos app, drag the white circle from the left side to trim off the beginning of the video, you should see the video change as you do it.

Drag the white circle from the right side to trim off the ending.

it will not allow you to trim the video to less than 1 second

you can play the video at any time to see what remains after trimming.

when you are happy with the result click save a copy in the top right of the screen or right click anywhere and select save a copy, it will be saved in the original location with trim added to the filename.

 

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.
