Keynote – How to Trim MP4 Video Downloaded from YouTube in Keynote

keynote

I have downloaded a YouTube videoclip (using Firefox), it's a MP4 file. I have inserted it in a Keynote slide.

Can I trim this MP4 file in Keynote? I can do that with my music from iTunes library.

I am running macOS Mojave 10.14.5.

Best Answer

You can trim movies/video files directly in Keynote.

  1. Place video to your slide.

  2. Make video on your slide selected.

  3. Show the Format sidebar, then select the Movie tab in the Format side bar.

  4. You can trim the video in the Trim section (click open the disclosure triangle of Edit Movie if collapsed) either by dragging the sliders or directly manipulate the timecode by clicking into the timecode numbers.

Please see screenshot below.
