[QUOTE="mitmcint, post: 1841798, member: 403897"] [b]I have a workaround to get the MP4 trimmable[/b] Im not sure why it's happening, but I have a workaround to get the MP4 trimmable within QuickTime. I use Smart Converter (free) to convert the video to MOV and then Subler (free) to convert & optimize the video back to MP4. Each conversion takes about 1 minute per 2GB file, which is why I like this workaround. Using QuickTime's Export & Save As functions can take a very long time. [LIST=1] [*]Open the MP4 in Smart Converter -> select the QuickTime option -> and convert the file (saved to "~/Movies/SmartConverter") [*]Open the new MOV file in Subler and [COLOR=#cc0000][B][U][FONT=arial]change the sound track to "AAC - Stereo"[/FONT][/U][/B][/COLOR] under the Actions column. The video will [U][B]NOT[/B][/U] be trimmable if you leave it as "Passthru"! [I]*Image_1[/I] [*]Select File -> Save As... -> check the "Optimize" box -> and save the file as "MPEG-4 movie" [I]*Image_2[/I] [/LIST] The new MP4 file will now be trimmable in QuickTime. Even if you're not looking for a workaround maybe this will shed some light on the issue. [LIST] [*]Smart Converter (free): [url=https://apps.apple.com/us/app/smart-converter/id447513724?mt=12]Smart Converter on the Mac App Store[/url] [*]Subler (free): [url=https://subler.org]Subler[/url] [/LIST] [I][U]*Image_1[/U][/I] [ATTACH=CONFIG]31032[/ATTACH] [U][I]*Image_2[/I][/U] [ATTACH=CONFIG]31033[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
