  • start (required) — Start time of the trim in milliseconds (≥ 0). Default is 0.

Output shape

A single binary file item with a 'data' property containing the trimmed video (default filename 'trimmed-video.mp4') and metadata in JSON.

The API processes the request asynchronously; the node polls for completion (max 600 attempts). Returns a JSON object with the result URL, original video URL, start/end times, and transaction ID.
