Trimming videos on your Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is a straightforward process, allowing you to easily cut unwanted segments and refine your footage directly on your device using the built-in Samsung Video Editor.
To precisely adjust the start and end points of your video, follow these steps:
- Open the Gallery app on your Samsung S23 Ultra.
- Select the video you wish to trim.
- Tap the Edit icon (usually a pencil or scissors icon, often found at the bottom of the screen) to open the video editor.
- Tap the Trim icon (often represented by scissors or two arrows pointing inwards) to activate the trimming controls.
- Use the white slider bars located at the bottom of the screen to define your desired video segment. Drag the left slider to set the new beginning of your video and the right slider to set its new end point. The portion between these sliders will be kept.
- Preview your trimmed video to ensure it meets your expectations.
- Tap 'Save' or 'Done' (typically in the top right corner) to apply your changes. You may be given the option to save it as a new file, which preserves your original video.
Enhancing Your Videos with Other Editor Features
Beyond basic trimming, the Samsung video editor on your S23 Ultra offers additional functionalities to further refine your footage, as detailed in Samsung's official support documentation:

- Draw, Stickers, or Text: Tap the corresponding icon to add doodles, fun stickers, or custom text overlays. This is ideal for adding emphasis, context, or a personal touch to your video content.

- Use the slider: Scroll through the available filters and tap to select the one that best suits your video's style.
