Trimming Video and Audio Files in Dropbox

Because the videos I take on my tablet and phone automatically upload to Dropbox, it would be great to have the ability to trim videos within Dropbox, without a separate video-editing application. This would help users free up space more easily. I would love to hear anyone's thoughts. Thank you!

 

grace & peace,

Chad

    Please this just makes sense!!! Why would want to use to different apps just to upload a video!

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Trimming Audio and Video would help me out as a music producer so much, especially if I want to send clips instead of full instrumentals to potential clients.

    I had just seen another post asking for the ability to trim video inside of Dropbox, which I think is a great concept that would put Dropbox ahead of it's competitors, but I also believe trimming audio files (.wav, .mp3) to be just as important a feature and another step in the right direction of differentiating Dropbox from the competition.

     

    As a music producer, I'd love the ability to trim audio and know for a fact that this feature will help improve the life quality of Dropbox users globally.

     

    Regards,

    I have videos that I need to share w/ clients et al, but I only want to share a clip of the video. Right now I have to download from dropbox, open in a video editor program, trim, save, and re-upload to Dropbox. The whole reason I use Dropbox is so I do not have to have the large videos on my hard drive. No one sends or shares a video w/o some editing / trimming, so it only makes sense to be able to trim/edit in Dropbox/Relay. Please add this feature.
