This article explains how to manually set the trim-in and trim-out values on a video within DIVA Back Office. For an introduction and a general overview, read our video catalog introduction article.

What is video trimming?

Trimming videos within DIVA Back Office refers to specifying when the video starts (trim-in) and when the video ends (trim-out). This process tells the player when to start and end the stream without cutting the original video source.
