Here, we take a look at what it offers.**_ + +You probably are already aware of some of the [best free video editors][1] for Linux but not everyone needs all the features offered. + +Sometimes you just want to perform a single operation quickly, for instance — trimming a video. + +Would you rather choose to explore a full-fledged video editor just to perform a simple trim operation or prefer a quick tool to help you trim the video? + +Of course, it would depend on your personal preferences and what you’d want to do with the video. But, for the majority of the users, a tool that makes it super easy to trim a video will be the preference. + +Hence, I’d like to highlight a dead simple open-source tool to trim videos quickly – “[Video Trimmer][2]“. + +![][3] + +### Video Trimmer: A simple application to trim videos quickly + +Video Trimmer is an open-source application that helps in trimming video clips without re-encoding them. + +So, basically, you’ll be able to trim videos without losing the original quality. + +All you have to do is – just open the video file using Video Trimmer and then select the region to trim using the mouse. + +You can manually set the time range to trim or just drag the region to trim using the mouse. Of course, it could take a while to manually set the timestamp if it’s a long video file and you don’t know where to look at. + +To give you an idea, take a look at the screenshot below to see the options available when using Video Trimmer: + +![][4] + +### Installing Video Trimmer on Linux + +Video Trimmer is only available as a Flatpak package on [Flathub][5]. So, you should be able to install it on any Linux distribution with Flatpak support without any issues. + +In case you didn’t know about Flatpak, you might want to refer our guide on [using and installing Flatpak][6]. + +[Video Trimmer (Flathub)][5] + +### Wrapping Up + +Video Trimmer uses [ffmpeg][7] underneath it. What it does can be done easily [using ffmpeg commands][8] in the terminal. But then not everyone wants to use terminal for cutting part of a video. Tools like Video Trimmer help such people (like me). + +For some reason, if you want to look for an alternative to this, you may try [VidCutter][9] as well. Of course, you can always rely on [top video editors available for Linux][10] (like [OpenShot][11]) to trim videos along with the ability to perform some advanced operations. + +What do you think about using “**Video Trimmer**” on Linux? Do you already have another favorite video trimming tool?
