Trimming video

Trimming is the act of shortening a recording and isolating parts that are relevant to your case. When trimming is performed, the original video is preserved and the trimmed version is saved as a copy. Choose to keep only the relevant sequence of a longer video to accelerate the review of the recording.

1. From a case, click the icon after the filename () in the Files field, and click Trim and Redact.
   Tip: You can also start a redaction from the File page or from the Evidence preview window when previewing evidence in a case.

2. (Optional) Move your cursor over the start or end of the file timeline and drag the its borders to fit your desired time range or adjust the From and To time values.

   

3. If an i-PRO in-car system with multiple microphones associated with it recorded the video, you can choose the audio channel that best suits your needs.
