Video trimming questions
Are trim times always frame-exact?
Not always. Media boundaries and codec behavior can shift the exact cut point slightly.
Does trimming re-encode the video?
Compatible streams are copied without re-encoding. That preserves their existing quality but can move a cut to a nearby keyframe.
