Cut Video, Trim Video, or Slice Video in a Video Editor to
get rid of unwanted content, improve pacing, emphasize key points, or manipulate the sequence of events.
Whether you're creating a social advertising video, social entertainment content, or instructional video, knowing when and how to cut video enables you to shape the narrative and direct the viewer's focus. This means you can turn raw footage into a polished, coherent story that resonates with your audience. Additionally, cutting is crucial when fitting a video into a specific time frame, like a 30-second social clip.
Upload the video clips you want to cut to the Cerebriam Studio online editor. Select your desired aspect ratio depending on which social platform on which you’d like to post
In the editor, move the player head to the point on timeline where you wish to make a cut. This will split your footage into separate segments that can be manipulated independently.
Delete unwanted segments and rearrange the remaining clips as needed. Always preview your edits to ensure the cuts appear seamless and serve their intended purpose.
The ideal length of your video can vary based on your target social platform. On Instagram, feed videos can be up to 60 seconds, Stories can be 15 seconds, and IGTV videos can be up to 60 minutes. On Twitter, videos can be up to 140 seconds. Facebook allows videos of up to 240 minutes, but shorter videos of about 1-2 minutes tend to perform better. TikTok, a platform built around short-form video, accepts videos of up to 60 seconds. In general, it’s best to keep videos short, engaging, and to the point.
There are several video editing tools available, both free and paid. Adobe Premiere Rush, iMovie, and Filmora are all good options. For mobile devices, apps like InShot, CapCut, and Adobe Premiere Clip are helpful. These tools allow you to cut and trim your videos, add music or voice-overs, apply text animation, and more. Cerebriam Studio has all these features and the benefit or creating for multiple social platforms simultaneously – saving you 50% of your time.
To maintain quality, ensure you’re exporting in the highest resolution that the social media platform supports, this will often be 1080p. The Cerebriam Studio render engine will automatically calculate the best technical specifications including resolution, frame rate, bit rate, and file size, when it’s rendering your videos. Keep in mind some other video editors compress the video when you upload, which can reduce quality. Using high-quality source footage can help mitigate this.
Simply upload your video to cerebriam.com, select your aspect ratio, in the editor moving the playhead to the point where you want to make a cut, and then use the scissors button to make the cut. You can then delete the parts of the video you don’t want.
With Cerebriam Studio you can easily make video content optimised for different social media platforms. For instance, make Instagram 1:1 (square) feed posts, Instagram Stories 9:16 (vertical), as well as YouTube 16:9 (horizontal), and many more aspect ratios.
Seeing this go from concept to final version, and exactly the way I wanted it to be, was made all the easier using the Cerebriam Studio online editor. An intuitive, simple platform for video editing.
It has been convenient and time saving to have such engaging content made for all our social platforms at the same time. We like our members to tell their own stories, so having a voiceover telling the story and background music accompanying it has been a big win for us.
Software that is not just a one-trick pony but makes many different aspects of video work easier and smoother.
