Hi @magic-peach
Problem
The current Trim feature requires users to manually type exact timestamps (start/end seconds) to cut their video. This becomes really frustrating when:
- The video is long
- You need to make multiple cuts
- You don't know the exact second you want to trim at
Having to scrub through the video, note the exact time, and then type it manually is slow and error-prone.
Proposed Improvement
Make the Trim section more user-friendly by adding:
- A draggable timeline/range slider so users can visually select the trim range instead of typing numbers
- Playhead sync — clicking on the timeline should auto-fill the start/end time
- Optional: A "Set Start" / "Set End" button that captures the current playback position with one click
Benefits
- Much faster and intuitive trimming
- No need to memorize or note timestamps
- Especially helpful for long videos with multiple cuts
- Better experience for non-technical users
I would love to work on this under GSSoC'26 if approved. Please assign this issue to me!
Thank you! 🙌
