Ma'am you have helped a Media Coordinator, much with the wisdom you just provided. Thank you

[ChanceDevlin]

has the interface changed? I don't see "video trimming" when I click to the spot you suggest. Using a page.

[Caniac]

Loved your tutorial on how to edit a Facebook video. I had to remove about 15 seconds at the beginning or a live video and it took no time. Thank you so much again

[TrueBlueQuilts]

Super helpful! I have to walk from behind the camera over to my sewing machine, now I can edit that out. Thank you!

[EnglishTeacherLloyd]

Can't believe I'd missed this all this time, thank you! Pity it is only for a page though.

NEW.
p.s.
I couldn't find trim in a new facebook look, so I've switched to old, and it worked! Tnx

I trimmed something but wanted to undo the trim so that I could re-trim. I saw that there was a button to undo the trim and it then asks you to refresh the page. Well, the trim edit went away (yay) but I cannot re-trim...it just keeps showing me the "remove" trim button. HELP! I really need to re-trim!

New here. Great job of explaining. Thank you.

Thanks for the help! In your experience how long before the new trimmed version of the video is what people see?

[THEALLINMAGAZINE]

Ah so this can't be applied to videos in a group no? I am clicking the edit video button and its coming with an error they are working on? I have a few facebook live videos I want to download but I played music in the beginning of them so the download button isn't available. Any suggestions? Thanks a mill in advance Ciara

Thank you!! Such a great feature. My live video was 25 min behind so it was so awesome to see that I could trim that wait screen off for the video post.

[krishnalivetelecast]

I have done this before. But now it takes me to "Publishing Tools" and not the page you mentioned in the latest version. That "Publishing Tools" says they are Moving to Creator Studio!. "Creator Studio" doesn't have option to trim. Can anyone help me?

[lightup]

I am new, only record a few FB live talks that I give sometime
, but I get confused between trimming and clipping and whether what is in the yellow brackets is what is saved or what is cut. I see that what is saved is in Yellow on trimming. Is it the same in editing?

[FUNNYMANERICWHITE]

thanks. can you do this with a regular video post that has already been posted?

[fairdistrictsga]

I get through the whole process. After "save, " is there supposed to be a message from Facebook that the process has been completed. My video never changes....the first 8 minutes that I try to scrub away are still there.

I don't have the trim really need this option for our church videos to delete the countdowns. Please help. Thank you. I'm in the US.

[mcwe_network]

Hi! Thank you so much for this tutorial! I noticed when I trimmed on desktop, the trim doesn't show up on mobile. Is there a feature for that, or did I do something wrong?

[nickcarol]

New and very happy I found you. I followed your instructions to edit out the first 15 minutes of video recorded prior to the actual start of our township meeting. It was our first attempt at streaming so I was a little anxious. You were a big help, thanks.

The edit video option doesn't exist in my page
