Trim Cloud Recording

The "trim" feature for Cloud Recordings seems to have changed, and I cannot get it to work.

Usually, I can select a time signature to start the playback. Easy.

But now, I click trim and my only option is to add "new sections" (with no time signature offered). I don't understand this.

I use the "trim" feature pretty much everyday before sending out recordings and now I'm at a loss.

    I think I figured it out!

     

    1.  Click the scissor to "trim"

    2.  Click in the gray box to "add a new section"

    3.  Then, use your mouse to expand that "new section" by dragging the black circles appearing on either side of it.

    4.  The blue part will be the viewable part of your video.

     

    But then, you do have to WAIT for the trimming to be done to send the video out to your peeps. 

     

    Sheesh!

    Even worse is the fact that there's no webpage at zoom.com that tells you how to trim. I had to come to the community, search for the problem, and there's only a solution because someone found it by trial and error!

     

    WTF, Zoom???

     

    Extra: When you do trim your video, and go back to the Recordings page, the length of the video is the original length, but when you click on it, the length is found to be only what you trimmed.

     

    WTFF, Zoom?????

    Ugh. I too am very unhappy with this revision.  The amount of time I have just spent in the WAITING mode is a non-starter.   And in my fumbling around to figure this out, I hot the 5x in 12 hour limit - so cannot deliver the replay link on time as required.  The old feature let you trim immediately, adjust as needed - as many times are you needed - and go.  This is a big set-back.  ZOOM, help your people!  😞

    Does someone know how to trim a section in the middle of the recording? It seems to be simple to trim the beginning or the end, but cannot make it for a middle section. HELP!
