2. Click the icon of TriMP4 to open the application.

3. There will be opened the window as below. Select the "Open file to edit" with the folder image to select the MP4 file you would like to be edited.

You can make additional settings for the view of the list of files: Grid or List view and also make additional settings.

TriMP4 contans file manager, so you cam also select the "Open from" location of your device to choose the file for editing.

2. Now when the file is selected from one on your device, you need to mark the fragment for saving.

Move left marker to the fragments beginning, then place the right marker to the fragment's end.

If you would like you can select "save only video track" or "save only audio track".

For this make additional settings in the so called menu. In our example we have selected to save only video track in the output file.

After that press the "Trim" button with scissors icon to start the cutting progress.

When the editing will be launched, you will see the trimming progress.

After that you have several options: to preview your video file, share it with some application on your device, view input/output file size information nd delete the input file.

In this example we will share the file. Press the "Share with..." button for it and select some application in the list of available on your device.

That's all!
