Edit uploaded media: trim, crop, and adjust audio
Once media is uploaded, you can trim it, crop it, adjust its audio, and duplicate it — all inside Biteable.
Trim or clip a video
Two tools, two purposes:
- Clip tool (Asset Library): for cutting a long video down before you use it. In your Asset Library, select the video and choose Clip video, set the start and end times, and save. Processing takes a few seconds (up to a minute for long videos); the clipped version appears in your uploads.
- Trim tool (in a project): for fine-tuning. Select the video in your scene and click Trim, then set exactly where the clip starts and ends.
Don't trim a clip too short — if the scene runs longer than the trimmed clip, the end of the scene can appear cut off in the published video.
Crop images and video
In your scene, double-click a video or image to enter cropping mode (the edit box shows dotted lines). Drag the dots on each side to crop, then double-click, press Escape, or click outside to finish. Studio-animated graphics, logos, and watermarks can't be cropped.
If your media sits in a frame, click it and choose Adjust frame to reposition or zoom the media within the frame.
Adjust the audio of an uploaded video
Select the video element in your scene (use the layers panel if it's hard to select, then close it to see properties). The properties panel has a volume slider with mute and fade in/out options.
Boost quiet audio up to 8×: the slider goes to 10, but you can type a number up to 40 into the volume box (40 = 8× the default volume).
When a clip's own audio plays, your soundtrack and voiceover levels duck automatically.
Duplicate and copy/paste assets
- Same scene: select the image or video and click the duplicate button that appears above it.
- Across scenes: select the asset, press Ctrl+C (PC) or Cmd+C (Mac), open the target scene, and press Ctrl+V / Cmd+V.
