How to trim a video with VideoPilot
Built on Mediabunny and WebCodecs, VideoPilot gives you the timeline confidence of an NLE inside your browser. Pull thumbnails, set in/out markers, and export without touching the cloud.
1. Drop your clip
Upload MP4, MOV, WebM, or MKV files up to 4K. VideoPilot scans the footage and auto-generates a hoverable storyboard timeline.
2. Refine the in/out points
Drag the dual-handle slider, snap to keyframes, or punch in timecodes. The live preview follows every adjustment with frame accuracy.
3. Export instantly
VideoPilot copies tracks losslessly whenever possible, or re-encodes only the trimmed section to keep bitrate, audio, and metadata intact.
