MP4 is the most common video format on the web, and cutting MP4 clips is a daily task for teams. This tool extracts a clean segment by start and end time and returns a new MP4 file that is ready to share.
The cutter favors speed by using keyframe-aligned cuts. That keeps processing fast and preserves quality, but it can shift the cut slightly on some files. If you require exact frame accuracy, re-encoding the clip is the best option, and a precise mode can be added later.
For teams that cut MP4 clips frequently, the API enables automation and consistent results. Submit multiple jobs programmatically and track outputs without manual uploads.
Because MP4 is supported by nearly every player and platform, keeping MP4 output avoids compatibility issues when you share results in chat tools, support systems, or review platforms.
Keyframe-aligned cuts are the fastest and preserve the original quality. If you need a perfect frame boundary, re-encode the clip. For most use cases, a small timestamp adjustment is enough.
When your mp4 cutter job completes, you will receive a downloadable output URL. You can save the result locally, share it with a teammate, or feed it into another tool such as the trimmer or converter. For repeatable workflows, use the API to store outputs in your own system and automate the next step.
MP4 cutting avoids re-encoding, so it is fast once the file is uploaded. Large files still take time to upload, so smaller inputs lead to quicker results.
If an MP4 fails to process, re-encode it to a standard H.264 MP4. This resolves most compatibility issues and keeps cuts reliable.
If you are reviewing many large files, consider using smaller proxy MP4s for quick cuts and then reapply timestamps to the full files.
For broadcast-level accuracy, plan for a re-encoded workflow where exact frames matter.
Fast MP4 cutting aligns to keyframes. This preserves quality but can move the cut slightly. Adjust the time or re-encode for exact precision.
Yes. The tool uses stream copy for speed, which avoids re-encoding.
Yes. The output is an MP4 file that you can download and share.
Embedded tracks may not be preserved in all cases. If you need advanced track handling, consider processing via the API or re-encoding.
In most cases the size should be similar or smaller. File size can vary if the original had unusual encoding settings.
Most H.264 MP4 files work well. If a file fails, re-encode it to a standard H.264 MP4 and try again.
Yes. Use the API to submit multiple trim jobs and track each by job ID.
If you manage large MP4 libraries, the API makes it easy to submit trimming jobs in bulk. You can integrate it into pipelines and retrieve output URLs automatically.
Pair trimming with conversion if you need consistent codecs across outputs.
Batch cutting is straightforward: loop through timestamps, submit jobs, and store each output URL for distribution or review.
