How to Trim Video and Combine Video Clips into One

Wondershare UniConverter includes a full-featured video editor that allows you to create professional-looking home movies in a matter of minutes. Trimming videos is a handy feature for editing videos that may be used to eliminate unneeded parts as a video shortener by trimming the undesired part and putting the left clips together, or to cut a big movie into multiple tiny chunks for easy distribution.

Step 1. Open Wondershare UniConverter and run it.

Select the Video Editor section in Wondershare UniConverter.

Situation 4
Cut a large video into multiple segments.

If you want to split a long video into numerous smaller segments, move the time slider to the desired location and confirm with the Cut icon. Then repeat the steps to cut the segments. As shown in the screenshot, the video will be broken into numerous segments (for example, five segments). To proceed, click the Save option if you just want to cut the video into 5 portions.

Rearrange the clip position.

You can rearrange the clip placements after subdividing a long video. Select a clip and drag it into a new place in the Clips pane to do so. Place it between two clips or in an empty area. The other videos will move on their own.
