# Set video trim-in and trim-out values

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](/v1/docs/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.
