Trimming a Video Link

When you add a video to a post by pasting a link rather than uploading a file, you can choose where it starts — handy when the part worth watching is three minutes in.

How to set it

  • Add a video block and paste your link into the Video link field.

  • Click Trim video below the video.

  • Enter the moment the video should start, in the format 00:00.00.

Your readers will see the video begin from that point.

Good to know

  • This applies to linked videos. A video file you upload plays from the beginning — trim it before uploading if you need a shorter cut.

  • Nothing changes on the original video or on the site it's hosted on. You're only choosing where playback starts inside your post.

See How to Include Content in Your Posts for everything else about video blocks.
