How to Trim Video Without Re-encoding
Need to cut a section from a video? AVMint's trim tool uses ffmpeg's copy mode (-c copy), which means it cuts at keyframes without re-encoding. This is incredibly fast and preserves 100% of the original quality.
Upload your video
Open AVMint's Video Trim tool and drop your video file.
Set start and end times
Enter the start and end times in minutes:seconds format (e.g., 1:30 to 3:45). The video preview helps you find the right positions.
Trim and download
Click Trim. Since no re-encoding is needed, the operation completes almost instantly, even for large files.
Tip
Copy-mode trimming cuts at the nearest keyframe, so the actual start/end points may differ by a fraction of a second. For frame-accurate cuts, use the compress tool with a specific time range.
