Edit and Trim a Clip's Timeline

Create shorter highlights or remove unwanted footage from any part of the recording in the Editor using the timeline's trimming handles and the Split tool. 

Step by step:

1. Using a computer, log in to your account.
2. Click the Riverside logo to go to the home page.
3. Hover over the relevant Studio, click the three dots menu […] and select View recordings.

6. Click or drag the playhead scrubber to a point on the timeline.

   The clip or selected section is divided at the playhead.

   Trim

9. Click and drag the trimming handles to adjust the in- and out-points of each section.
   Or double-click a trimming handle and type in a numeric timecode to start or stop the clip or section at that frame.
   
   

   TIP: Timecode Format
   The Editor uses this format for numeric timecodes: Hours:Minutes:Seconds.Milliseconds. For example 01:04:33.42 would be 1 hour, 4 minutes, 33 seconds, and 42 milliseconds.

10. In the top right corner, click Export.
    Riverside creates a downloadable clip file of the timeline's active sections (highlighted in purple).

When you preview the recording in the Editor or export the clip, all removed sections are skipped.

TIP:
To undo a change, drag the trimming handles of the sections back together. Click Start over to reset all the timeline changes.
