Hey HN, this is the second browser-based media oriented tool I created. With this tool, you can select a segment of video you wish to extract from a larger video. It works across all browsers, but it can be a bit slow in Firefox.

EDIT: It's important to note that there your files are not uploaded anywhere. All trimming is happening completely client-side.

1- Does it upload/download anything?

I think that I did not see any network traffic when selecting the video nor when saving it, but I might be wrong => if that's correct you might want to state that, as users will be happy to know that they won't need to use hundreds of MBs of cell data and that their private videos will still be private. If that's true then you might change as well the button "Download video" to "Save video" or something similar not involving "downloading" anything.

2- You might want to specify if there will be a quality loss (transcoding) or not (original audio/video codecs & frames left untouched).

Cheers & good luck

1) It doesn't upload/download anything. All transcoding/trimming happens in the browser. 2) There might be a slight loss in terms of quality seeing as it's using lossy encoding, but it shouldn't be noticeable to the human eye.
