The Windows 10\/Windows 11 Photos app lets you trim videos and save the selected portion of the video clip to a new file. You don’t have to rely upon a third-party program, as the Photos app does the task perfectly — suitable for quick trims.<\/p>\n

Cut\/Trim or Split videos using Photos App in Windows 10\/11<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Right-click on a video file and click “Open with” and choose Photos.<\/li>\n
  2. Click the Trim<\/strong> button at the top.
    \n\"cut<\/p>\n
    \nOn Windows 11, click on the Video trim<\/strong> icon (Ctrl + E) to launch the trim window.
    \n\"trim<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. In the next screen, select the portion of the video you need, by moving the start and end sliders accordingly.\n

    \nOn Windows 11, you’ll see the “Save as<\/strong>” button.<\/p>\n

    \"trim<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

  4. Save the selected portion of the video to a separate file, by clicking “Save a copy”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The selected portion is now saved to a video file in the same folder, with the letters “Trim” added to the file name. If the file name of the original video is Remote_Desktop.mp4<\/code>, the trimmed copy will be named Remote_DesktopTrim.mp4<\/code>.<\/p>\n

    Split a video into multiple clips?<\/h3>\n

    You can use the trim tool to split a big video into a number of small video clips if you want. As the Photos app is suitable for quick trims and is not a sophisticated editor, to split a video into multiple parts you’ll need to repeat this sequence:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open a video, let’s say Dogshow.mp4<\/code><\/li>\n
    2. Split\/trim it and save a copy.<\/li>\n
    3. Rename the trimmed file accordingly. Eg. rename DogshowTrip.mp4<\/code> to Dogshow (Part-1).mp4<\/code>.<\/li>\n
    4. Reopen the original video Dogshow.mp4<\/code>, choose another time segment, and split it — for Part 2.<\/li>\n
    5. Repeat the above sequence for subsequent trim or splits — part 3, part 4, and so forth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Additional Tip:<\/strong> You can annotate videos using the Draw tool. There is no text tool though which is a big disappointment.<\/p>\n
