You need to cut a video — trim the boring intro, remove the ending, extract a 30-second clip. Reddit says the same thing across r/VideoEditing, r/software, and r/NewTubers: use a browser tool for quick trims, Shotcut or DaVinci Resolve for complex editing.
Set start and end times — download your trimmed clip. No watermark, no install.
