LiveLink’s Video Trimmer For Generating Viral Video Content
Where you start and end your video is important to boost engagement. The first few seconds will attract more viewers, and the last few will keep them coming for more.
Doing this for dozens of videos can take up too much time. Here’s where LiveLink AI comes into play.
LiveLink has an AI tool and video editor to trim videos online. You don't need to download YouTube videos, just paste the URL and start editing.
LiveLink AI will easily convert the link to an editable video. You can then do two things to trim the video:
- Adjust the timeline of the video feed
- Use the auto-generated transcript
When to Use The Transcript Video Trimmer
LiveLink AI creates a transcript of any video you upload. It can then point to anywhere in the video using the transcript.
This feature can trim or clip a podcast. You just target a specific keyword and start or end the clip there.
When to Use the Regular Timeline-Based Video Trimmer
You can also trim a video using the timeline. This is handy when you want to trim videos faster.
Timeline trimming is also great for a trailer, travel video, or an intro. It can highlight the visuals over the audio.

Both options have their use cases. We recommend the transcript for clipping podcasts or informational videos. You can trim via the timeline for a product or travel video. You don't need any editing experience.
This usually depends on the video quality and the length of the final result. You can cut, trim and download short-form content at 720p or 1080p in just under a minute. You can then upload your video to social media platforms.
No. Trimming videos using LiveLink won't affect the quality of your videos. LiveLink AI also resizes the video to fit short-form content.
