Cutting a Portion of Zoom Recording

Hello - I need to cut 00:12:36-00:13:00 from a recording that is 01:36:57.  I cannot figure out how to do it.  I selected the scissor icon and when the blue bar appeared I selected these time codes thinking this portion would get trimmed.  Instead, the system saved on this portion.  I restored the original recording but I cannot figure this out.  Please advise.  TIA!

      Welcome to the Zoom Community, @DBR.

       

      I'm sure you've already read this Zoom Support article:

      https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115003001383-Trimming-cloud-recordings

       

      It might not be clear that the term "Trim" in this case only refers to the ability to remove portions from the beginning and the end of a recording.  Removing a portion in the middle is really "editing", and not part of the Trimming operation.

       

      The bars you manipulated are only intended to indicate where you want the trimmed video to start and end.

       

      It's possible to download the file(s) and edit them in a variety of video editing software applications, then upload the edited file to YouTube, Vimeo, etc.

        Thank you for your reply!  I read the info and didn't see anything specifically discussing the "trimming" I was hoping to do so I jumped on the Community board.  I am not technologically savvy so may I ask for recommendations for simple video editing software applications?  Also, do I need to pay for a Vimeo or YT account to post it?  TIA!!

        If you are not in a huge hurry to get it posted, I'll send you a PM (private message) with info on how to reach me, and I'll do a quick edit and upload for you. 

        (You won't be eligible for PMs until Tuesday.)


        I really appreciate this offer. I was hoping to get it out this weekend but if it has to wait until Tuesday that is fine! Thank you so much!
