# Trim and Cut Clips

Raw footage always has dead time — long intros, awkward pauses, off-topic tangents, and tail-end silence. Trimming these out is the most common video editing task, but launching a full editing suite just to cut a clip is overkill for most people.

ToolRouter's edit_footage skill handles precise trimming and cutting through simple commands. Specify start and end timestamps, mark segments to remove, or ask the AI to automatically detect and remove silence. The output is a clean, ready-to-use clip without any quality loss.

This is essential for podcast producers cleaning up raw recordings, content creators extracting highlights from long streams, and marketing teams pulling the best moments from webinars and interviews for social media repurposing.
