How to Trim Video on Huawei P9

We often have certain footage on our mobile phones that we don’t want to show to those we’ll send it to in the future. Sometimes you may not have access to a computer or laptop, but you really need to do some minimal editing and trim the footage. In such cases, you can trim the video on your Huawei P9 using standard or additional tools right on your Android smartphone. That’s what we are going to tell you about in this article.

Trimming video via the smartphone gallery

If you already have a video you’d like to trim using only your phone and no other devices, follow these steps:

1. Find the Gallery in the menu and open it.

2. Go to the Videos section.
3. Find the video file you need and open it.
4. Tap Edit.
5. You’ll see a small app inside the Gallery which allows you to do several things:
   • use the Quick cut feature to select and save a specific moment from a video quickly;
   • If necessary, split a video file into several separate files using the Split tool.
   

Besides, you can find dozens of other tools in this menu that will allow you to do entry-level video editing for personal use and some simple editing for your blog.
