If you like to shoot video but never took an A/V class in your life, let me fill you in on an industry secret: the magic is all in the editing. Being able to cut out the seconds of inaction between on-screen activity is an ability you don’t appreciate until you’re playing video back and have to huff and puff between gaps in the excitement. For those with the newest video recording-capable HTC 4G Android Phone models and other state-of-the-art mobile devices, the ability to shoot high definition video comes at the cost of enormous memory use without a way to cut the fat.

Luckily for them, third-party app developers are standing by.

The VidTrim app recently released by the XDA development firm is no Final Cut Pro, but the free app is incredibly useful for anyone who isn’t satisfied with simply playing back raw amateur video. The flagship function is explained in the name: VidTrim allows you to cut a particular piece of your recording out and save it as an independent file.

That sounds ho-hum, but it isn’t when you consider that such a simple tool doesn’t come standard with Android despite the usefulness of such an app.

How To Use VidTrim ?

Picture walking down the street with your buddies. Suddenly two chipmunks tumble onto the sidewalk and prepare to do battle. You hit record, but while they circle around each other, you spend ten seconds adjusting for exposure and fumbling around.

The resulting “Chip and Dale Fight Night” video is sure to be a Youtube sensation, but that opening ten seconds is hardly attention-grabbing. With VidTrim, instead of uploading an unrefined 2 minutes, you’re able to and streamline the video into a dramatic nonstop depiction of chipmunk mortal combat with a run-time of under 1:50.

Being able to get rid of unnecessary footage also frees up precious memory. All those chopped-off seconds add up to minutes worth of worthless high definition footage that’s otherwise sitting on your phone taking up space. Clearing it out leaves room for music, pictures, apps, and of course more of your masterpiece short films.

It’s a simple creation, but Google sure didn’t think to include it. Above all, it’s free which is always awesome.
