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.

Photos app - trim a video - error

Hello, I am trying to use the built-in Windows 10 Photos app to trim a video. I have the video playing in the Photos app and click "Trim Video" at the top. I move the sliders to select the start and end points. I click "Save a copy" at top-right. The app says "It looks as though you don't have permissions to save changes to this file. Try saving a copy instead." Having just clicked "Save a copy", I am confused as to why this error message is appearing. I've tried copying the .mp4 to my VIDEOS folder on C: drive with the same result. Some research has suggested to run the Photos app as Administrator, but I can't figure out how to do that. Any suggestions on how to trim a video would be appreciated! Thanks,
