To shorten a video on your iPhone, you can use the built-in Photos app to trim the video easily without needing any third-party apps. Here's how to do it:
- Open the Photos app and select the video you want to shorten.
- Tap the Edit button.
- On the video timeline, drag the sliders on either end to adjust the start and stop times, effectively trimming the video to your desired length.
- Tap Done.
- Choose either:
- Save Video to replace the original video with the trimmed version, or
- Save Video as New Clip to keep the original video and save the trimmed version as a new clip.
You can preview the trimmed video before saving to ensure it’s the length you want. If you save as a new clip, your original video remains unchanged
. This method allows you to quickly shorten videos by cutting out unwanted parts from the beginning or end, making it easier to share or manage your clips on your iPhone.
