It is not easy to shoot accurate videos every time. Therefore, we often take excessive shots on the iPhone to get enough footage for making a perfect video. In this scenario, trimming video comes to play its part. Trimming videos makes it appealing, and helps throw out unnecessary footage from the final cut.
But, sometimes, you can accidentally trim important footage or need the original content for re-editing. But how to recover trimmed video on an iPhone, regardless of the model?
Process Overview:
- Select the trimmed video and revert to the original from the photos app
- Recover it using iCloud
- If you can’t find it in iCloud, use a third-party app to recover.
What Does Trimming A Video Mean?
Trimming a video removes excess footage from the beginning, end, or middle of a clip. This can be done for various reasons, such as to shorten the length of the video, remove unwanted footage, or fix mistakes.
There are a few different ways to trim a video. The most basic way is to use the trim tool in your built-in video editor. This tool allows you to select a start and endpoint for the clip and then cut out the excess footage.
Another way to trim a video is to use the split tool. This tool allows you to split a clip into two parts and delete the part you don’t want.
Finally, you can also trim a video by editing the footage directly. This can be done by using the slider on the timeline to select the start and endpoints of the clip or by using the crop tool to select a specific area of the clip to keep.
