Edit and save a video in your browser

Open a video in the web editor, trim, crop or annotate it, export the result as a new version, and check the saved video before sharing.

Last reviewed

The web video editor can trim, mute, crop and annotate a video stored in dosya. Completing an edit saves the result as a new version of the same file.

Steps: open the editor

  1. Open dosya in your browser and select the video’s workspace.
  2. Open Files and select the video to open its preview.
  3. Confirm the filename, then select Edit in the preview’s top bar.
  4. Wait for the video to load into the editor.

Use the web app for this workflow. The desktop file viewer does not include the video editor. A video may be listed in dosya even when your browser cannot decode or export it.

Saving requires permission to upload a new version and enough available storage. File and folder locks can prevent the save.

Make your edits

Select Trim and drag the start and end handles to choose the part to keep. Use Play and Pause to review the result. Use Mute if you want the exported clip without its original audio, or Unmute to restore it before exporting.

Use Crop to change the framing. Use Annotate to add text or marks to the video. Review the clip after each change, especially the beginning and end of a trim.

The available controls and playable formats depend on the browser and video. If the editor cannot load the file, try a browser that supports its format or edit a downloaded copy in another video application.

Export and save

  1. Select Done, the editor’s export action.
  2. Keep the editor and browser tab open while the video is processed and uploaded.
  3. Wait for Saved with Video saved as new version. The editor then closes.
  4. Play the latest video and check the trim, picture and audio.
  5. Open the preview inspector and select Versions to confirm the new version is present.

The export updates the existing file. It does not create a separate named copy. Its filename and folder stay the same, and the previous contents remain in version history while the retention policy allows.

Use Download in the preview after saving if you also need the edited video on your computer. To recover an earlier edit, follow version history and restore.

If exporting or saving fails

Editor unavailable means the editor did not open. Return to the preview and try opening it again. If the video still cannot load, check that it plays in the browser and that your connection is working.

For a processing error or a browser memory error, the video may exceed what the device can handle. Try a shorter or smaller source, or use another video application.

For Upload failed or Save failed, check connectivity, workspace permissions and available storage. Keep the editor open if possible. Before retrying, check Versions to see whether a new version already appeared, since repeating a completed save can create another version.

Closing the editor before a successful save does not confirm that your edits were stored. The Saved message and the new version are the checks to use before sharing the edited file.

Expected result

Saved confirms the edited video was uploaded as a new version. The latest preview shows the intended trim, picture and audio, and Versions lists the saved change.
