Frequently asked questions
How do I cut a video online?
Manus works as a video trimmer online. Attach the video to a task and describe the cut, such as “keep 0:45 to 2:10.” Manus cuts the file on its own computer and gives you the clip in the task. To trim it yourself, open the project in Video Editor in Manus Desktop.
Which video formats can I cut?
Manus works as an MP4 cutter and also cuts MOV, MKV, WebM, WMV, FLV, AVI, M4V, 3GP, MPG, and MPEG files. Tell Manus which format you want the finished clip in, such as MP4.
Can I cut H.264, MPEG-4, or MPEG-2 video?
Yes. H.264 and MPEG-4 video usually comes in MP4, M4V, or MKV files, and MPEG-2 video usually comes in MPG or MPEG files. Attach the file as it is. Manus works on it with tools like FFmpeg on its own computer.
How do I cut out parts of a video?
Tell Manus which parts to remove, such as “remove 1:20 to 1:45 and join the rest.” You can list several parts in one request. In Video Editor, use Split Clip at the start and end of a part, then delete it.
Can the AI video cutter find the parts to cut for me?
Manus can transcribe your footage and sample its frames to work out what happens. Then it picks the good moments or cuts repetitive and slow spots, and you can ask for changes. The Video Editor launch post walks through a real travel video edit.
How do I shorten a video?
Tell Manus how long the video should be, such as “shorten this to 60 seconds.” It keeps the strongest moments and removes repeated takes and slow spots.
Can I split a video into several short clips?
Yes. Use Manus as a video splitter: say how many clips you want and how long each should be, or ask to cut the video in half. A meeting recording, an interview, or a stream recording can become several clips ready for social.
Can I make a vertical clip?
Yes. Ask for a vertical 9:16 clip in the task, or resize the canvas in Video Editor for a vertical story or a widescreen film.
Where can I trim a clip on a timeline?
Video Editor is in Manus Desktop for macOS and Windows. You can drag, trim, and split clips yourself, or ask Manus to tighten a part. On the web, click Edit in Video Editor and you will be guided to download the desktop app.
Can I cut videos on an Android phone?
Download the Manus app for Android to start tasks from your phone. Manus works on its own computer and notifies you when the task is complete. With Remote Control, you can also control your computer from your phone.
