how to trim a video in canva

braza points at the trim handles wherever this canva version hides them.

trimming a clip in canva is easy once you know where the controls are - but canva keeps moving them between versions, so the button you saw in a tutorial may be somewhere else. here's how to trim and split in whatever version you're on.

or do it yourself

  1. 1click the video clip on your canvas to select it.
  2. 2hover over the left or right edge until a handle appears, then drag inward to cut off the start or end.
  3. 3for finer control, double-click the clip to open the timeline trimmer and drag the purple handles.
  4. 4to split a clip, move the playhead and press the split (scissors) button, then delete the part you don't want.

select the clip and drag its edges, or double-click it to open the trim view - canva moved this between versions, so there's no fixed button.
