## About

## What it does
Video Trimmer lets you send a video file and cut out a segment by specifying start and end times in seconds. It returns the trimmed clip as a binary file, ready to store, re-upload, or pass into another media workflow.

Use it when you need to isolate a highlight from a longer recording, prepare a short preview from a full-length asset, or remove unwanted lead-in and tail sections before further processing. The request body accepts three fields: `file` for the video upload, `startSeconds`, and `endSeconds`.

The response is the trimmed video itself, not a JSON wrapper. That makes it a good fit for pipelines that expect a file output, such as media ingestion, review tools, or automated content preparation steps.

If your product handles user-uploaded video, Video Trimmer gives you a simple way to normalize clips before analysis, sharing, or archiving.
