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.
