How Do You Clip a Snap?

Published in Snap Editing 2 mins read

To clip or edit the length of a Snap, you can use the tools described in the editing interface. This involves trimming the edges or splitting and removing parts of the Snap.

Methods for Clipping Your Snap

Based on the available tools, here's how you can clip, trim, or split your Snap:

1. Trimming the Edges

The simplest way to shorten a Snap is by adjusting its start or end points.

  • Tap on the Snap you want to edit.
  • Drag the edges of the Snap's timeline or preview to trim it to your desired length.

This method is useful for quickly cutting off unwanted beginning or end sections.

2. Splitting and Removing Segments

For more precise editing or removing sections from the middle of a Snap, you can split it.

Here's the process:

  1. Tap on the Snap you wish to edit.
  2. Tap the scissors ✂️ icon.
  3. Drag up from the timeline or preview to split the Snap into multiple segments at that point.
  4. If you split the Snap, you can then tap the ✖️ icon on any specific segment you want to remove entirely.

This allows you to cut out middle sections or break the Snap into smaller, manageable parts.

3. Using Creative Tools

While not directly for clipping the length, Creative Tools 🎨 are applied to the entire Snap (or every Snap if you have multiple segments after splitting) and can enhance your clipped content.

  • Use filters, stickers, text, and other tools as needed after you have finished clipping your Snap.

By combining trimming and splitting, you can effectively clip your Snap to include only the best moments.
