VLC Media Player is well known as the best free cross-platform multimedia player and framework that's best for playing most videos, audios, DVD discs and various streaming protocols from different sources on almost all computer systems. But you may not be aware of the fact that it can also be used as a video editing tool, with which you can cut or trim any video into smaller clips and segments for free. So if you are just seeking for the easiest video cutting solution to trim your videos, and you happen to have VLC Media Player installed on your computer, then simply follow this guide and we'll show you how to use VLC as a video splitter to easily cut videos and create video clips with a few clicks only

Step 1. Install and launch VLC Media Player

Firstly you should download and install the latest version of VLC media player if you don't have it already. Once installed, double click the icon to launch it.

Step 2. Activate Advanced Controls in VLC

Step 3. Play and record the video file you want to cut

You can add the video file either by clicking the "Open File" located under the Media menu, or directly drag and drop the video into the VLC media player. Then you should begin to play the video and record the segment using the built-in decoder.

Verdict and More Suggestions:

Verdict: The video cutting process of VLC media player is extremely easy to handle that doesn't require any technical skill. But the downside of using VLC to cut the video clips is that the media player records the video frame by frame, so that it's suitable only for small cuts. You must sit and watch the process while VLC is recording in the background. And there might be some quality loss during the recording.
