Part 1. How to Trim Videos Using HandBrake

What we need: the newest version of HandBrake, a Windows computer with the up-to-date compatible Microsoft. NET Framework or a Mac computer, and the video you'd like to trim.
What to do: there is a downside that cannot be ignored when using HandBrake - you won't be able to see the video in real-time while trimming, making it a must for you to know the timing before operating.

Step 1: Remember the start and endpoints to trim

Play the video in any available media player you have, such as iTunes, VLC, QuickTime, etc. and pause to take down both start and endpoints. Apply hour:minute: second as notation if you're a Windows user. For Mac, only seconds are required when trimming.

Step 2: Add video to HandBrake
