Problems Trimming Clips

I Lithium I · Nov 6, 2020

Hello, I, as well as many other people have had consistent issues using the trim function through the Xbox DVR. It's always been annoying but with the removal of Upload Studio there is no longer any work-around to fix this. I was just wondering if this is
an issue currently being looked into? It's not the biggest deal in the world, but can be extremely frustrating, so having it adressed would definitely be a huge plus for myself and others.

Thanks!

I notice I have this issue if I have clips uploading at the same time I'm trying to clip. Try clipping one at a time, with nothing in the upload que.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that.

Trimming clips has been hit and miss for me as well, and I have reported this issue with Report a Problem.

Hi there SeaNee,

I haven't heard of this particular error. There are a couple of things that might help us understand a bit better:

Is it after you select the section of your clip to Trim that you're seeing the "Total Length" still showing as the original length of the Trim?
When you're making the Trim, does the new trimmed length show on "Trimmed Length" in the top left and on the timestamp on the bar below the clip?
Is this happening when you do "Just a Trim" or is this happening during a Multi-clip?

Please let us know the answer to those questions and we'll work from there.

I have now uploaded a video focusing on this issue, it shows me trimming the clips and the issues leading after that, I would hope if someone could watch it and give me some help related to the issue so I can fully trim this clip without any errors occuring,
thanks

After examining your video, and looking at it from my console, The "Trim" option you have available on that bar, isn't available in my app strangely. Not sure why that trim option is there, have you checked to see if the Xbox DVR has been updated recently?

Alternatively (as a work around) to trim your clip, you can "edit in Upload Studio" which will allow you trim the clip in that app (Simply pushing the left stick to move the starting point, and the right stick to move the ending
point) and will allow you to save and upload the trimmed clip to xbox or onedrive as well.
