Overview

BombBomb gives you two editing tools on the Trim & Stitch tab: trimming lets you cut unwanted sections from a video, and stitching lets you combine multiple videos from your Workspace into one.

Plan requirement: Core, Core + Copilot, Enterprise


How to Trim a Video

  1. Go to Workspace and click the thumbnail of the video you want to edit.
  2. Click the Trim & Stitch tab at the top of the editor.
  3. You'll see your video with a timeline below it and two orange handles on either side of the clip.
  4. Drag the orange handles to adjust the length of the clip — drag inward from either end to remove footage from the beginning or end of the video.

  5. To make a precise cut in the middle of a clip, position the playhead where you want to split and click Split at [timecode]. This divides the clip into two at that point. You can then:
    • Drag the orange handles on either clip to further adjust its length, or
    • Click a clip to select it and click Delete Selection to remove it entirely.
  6. When you're happy with your edit, click Save Video in the top right.
  7. A Trim Video modal will appear. Give your trimmed video a title (required). If you want to remove the original video from your Workspace, check Delete original video.

  8. Click Save.

Your trimmed video is saved as a new video in your Workspace.


How to Stitch Videos Together

  1. Go to Workspace and click the thumbnail of the video you want to start with.
  2. Click the Trim & Stitch tab.
  3. Click Stitch Videos in the top right.

A drawer opens on the right: 

  1. Step 1 of 2 — Select Videos to Stitch. Browse or search your Workspace and check the videos you want to combine. The count at the bottom updates as you select. Click Confirm Selection.

  2. Step 2 of 2 — Name and Set Stitch Order appears. Give your new stitched video a title.

  3. Drag and drop the clips into the order you want them to appear. Use the trash icon to remove a clip if needed.
  4. Click Stitch and Save New Video.

Your stitched video is saved as a new video in your Workspace.


Frequently Asked Questions

Will trimming or stitching affect my original video? Trimming saves the result as a new video. You can optionally delete the original in the save modal — if you leave that box unchecked, the original stays in your Workspace untouched. Stitching always creates a new video and does not modify the source videos.

How many videos can I stitch together? There's no hard limit, though we recommend keeping stitched videos concise for viewer engagement.

Can I trim a video before stitching it? Yes — trim each clip first, save it, then use Stitch Videos to combine your edited clips.
