Purpose

 

To trim the head and tail of a video clip by a given number of frames, a given number of seconds, or by redefining the in & out timecodes.

Note that this node will not produce new media by itself. What it does is just to insert the trimming metadata to be applied by encoder nodes downstream, which are the ones that will produce the actual trimmed media.

Inputs

input: Video files to be trimmed

 

Outputs

 

output: The input files with the trimming metadata, ready to be trimmed by encoder nodes.

Node specific properties

 

Mode(Frames, Timecode, Edit):

 

Frames:

 

Trim Head: Number of frames to remove from the beginning of the clip. Default is 0.

 

Trim Tail: Number of frames to remove from the end of the clip. Default is 0.

 

NOTE: In this mode the trim values are expressed in frames. The node reads the frame rate from the file metadata to correctly calculate in/out points. Drop-frame timecodes (29.97 fps and 59.94 fps) are handled automatically.

 

Timecode:

 

trimHeadTC:  Time to remove from the beginning of the clip (in timecode format)

 

trimTailTC:  Time to remove from the tail of the clip (in timecode format)

 

EditInTC:

 

editInTC: Redefine the in point timecode of the clip

 

editOutTC: Redefine the out point timecode of the clip
