Have you ever wanted to save a specific portion of a Youtube video to share with your friends or make a cool meme? Or maybe you just need to trim a video for a project you’re working on. Whatever the reason may be, the good news is that you don’t need to install any software to do this. In this short tutorial, we’ll show you the easiest way to cut a Youtube video and even turn it into a gif.
First and foremost, it’s important to note that if you want to use a specific portion of a Youtube video that’s not yours, you must have the consent of the person who created that video or use that content under fair use.
To get started, go to flixxer.com and click on “Get Started” to use their free online video editor. From there, select the “Link” option, copy the link to your Youtube video, and paste it into the editor. The best part is that this also works with videos from other platforms, such as TikTok and more.
Once your video is imported, drag the playhead to the place where the portion you want to save starts and click the cut button or press “S” on your keyboard. Do the same thing again for the end of the portion you want to save. Then, right-click on the first part that you want to get rid of and click “Ripple Delete.” Select the ending part and delete that as well.
You could achieve the same effect by just dragging on the beginning and end of your clip on the timeline, but using the cut button can be a lot more precise.
When you’re happy with the way your video looks, click the export button in the top right corner. You can save your clip as a video or select the gif format in the drop-down menu to turn it into a gif. When you click on “Export and Download,” flixxer will take a few seconds to process your file, and then it will be automatically downloaded to your computer.
And that’s it! You now know how to easily cut a specific portion of a Youtube video. If you have any questions, feel free to comment below. We hope this tutorial was helpful for you. Have a nice day and good luck!
