While we can go on and on about the list of features and what makes VLC the G.O.A.T among other media players, in this article, we will be talking about a rather not-so-well-known feature instead. It is its ability to cut or trim videos. Very few are aware of the advanced media controls in VLC that allow users to trim out smaller sections from videos and save them as completely new video files. Read below to find out how to trim video in VLC Media Player in Windows 10 PCs.

The feature to trim video in VLC can come in extremely handy
- to isolate certain bits of a family or personal video to post on social media platforms with time constraints,
- to clip out a particularly exquisite background score from a movie, or
- spasiti any GIF-able/meme-able moments from a video.
