# How to trim your video? 

## If you have a long video, you may only want a couple of minutes. You will be able to trim your video on the first screen after importing your video.

**Feature Update**: Identity Cloak Desktop application version 6.3.1 has an enhanced Trim feature. [See more here](https://knowledgebase.facit.ai/migration/knowledge/how-to-trim-video?hsLang=en)

Once you have imported your video you will be able to play the video, this a good point to review the video and select the section that you need instead of redacting and sending the full video for the request you are dealing with.

1. Use the red bar and scroll from either end to your desired start and end point ![Screenshot 2023-11-02 at 11.38.02](https://knowledgebase.facit.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20at%2011.38.02.jpeg?width=670&height=359&name=Screenshot%202023-11-02%20at%2011.38.02.jpeg)
2. Click ‘Next’ ![Screenshot 2023-11-02 at 11.38.02-1](https://knowledgebase.facit.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20at%2011.38.02-1.jpeg?width=670&height=359&name=Screenshot%202023-11-02%20at%2011.38.02-1.jpeg)

This will then take you to the next working screen where you will able to blur and track. 

If you have imported a video with audio, you will skip this screen and the whole video will go through to the second working screen where you are able to redact.
