Important
-
Compared to editing a video file, trimming (to set the start and end points) does not change the video file as far as Bloom is concerned. So, the size and the duration of the video file that Bloom stores do not change. In the Sign Language Tool, look for Info below
Advanced to observe this.
However, the publishing process will shorten the video that is stored with that particular output (ePUB, Bloom Reader or published on the web) to match the portion of the video remaining between the trim control handles.

You can click the Trim slider bar on the left or right of either handle to jump to desired start or end point.
