Cutting that respects the file
Most online trimmers decode the whole file and encode the part you keep, which takes time and loses a generation of quality. The cutter does something simpler: it copies the range you asked for straight out of the file. No decoding, no encoding – the piece is bit for bit what was in the original, and it is ready almost instantly.
The one exception, and how it is handled
Audio can be cut anywhere, because its frames last milliseconds. Video can only be copied starting from a keyframe, and keyframes can be seconds apart. Ask for 3:28 on a video whose nearest keyframe is at 3:25 and a plain copy would give you three extra seconds at the start.
So the cutter copies first and then measures. If the result is more than a second longer than you asked for, it redoes that cut properly with an encode so it starts exactly on time. Most cuts never need that, and the ones that would have looked wrong get fixed automatically.
Telling it which file
- Reply to the audio or video with the range – the clearest way, and it works on files the bot itself sent you.
- Or send the range right after the file. The bot uses the last media in the chat.
A message that is only a time range is never mistaken for a song search, so 1:02-1:30 always means "cut".
Ideas
- A ringtone from the chorus of a song.
- The one scene from a long video that you want to share.
- A clean intro for a video note – then turn it round with the video note converter.
- Just the song part of a clip, before you identify the music.
