Trim GIF

1) Sign up for Descript for free. You get one free hour of transcription per month, and no credit card is required to get started.

2) Upload your video to Descript by simply dragging and dropping it into the project window. This will allow you to work on your file within the platform.

3) After the transcription is complete, you can highlight and delete the parts of the transcript you want to trim from your video by pressing backspace. Alternatively, you can directly trim the GIF by opening the "Show Timeline" tab in the bottom left corner and selecting the sections of the video you wish to remove.

4) Once you're satisfied with your edits, share your newly trimmed GIF by clicking on the "Publish" button and then selecting "Export." You can also download the file to your desired location.
