Xbox clip trimming always gives black screen.

Hi there. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

Please try the troubleshooting steps from this link, https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/....

Click the drop-down arrow button that is titled "I'm experiencing other issues."

If all the steps don't sort out the issue, the other option you can try here is to trim in several stages and only cut the clip every two minutes or one minute only until you get the clip you want to share.

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.

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:

1. 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?
   
2. 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?
   
3. 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.

The other thing you may consider is not uploading your screenshots or clips until you have reviewed or trimmed them. I take a lot of shots and on review I delete some if I don't like them and always trim my clips.

This saves a lot of bandwidth if you have capped internet and stops your feed from being cluttered. I don't even upload achievements.
