Trimming Recordings

What is a trimmed recording and how to create one

Updated over 4 months ago

Saving recordings as 'Trimmed' allows you to save on storage quota while still keeping all of your important footage.


What is a Trimmed Recording?

A trimmed recording removes all footage in a recording that is not covered by a tag. By tagging your recording and then trimming, you delete all untagged footage that is not needed and keep all that is tagged for further analysis


A trimmed recording:

  • Can be set before or after the recording is complete

  • Helps to save on storage quota

  • Has a 10 day period to trim, giving you time to undo

  • Cannot be undone once trimmed


How to Trim a Recording?

There are two places to trim a recording:

1. When Scheduling/Starting your Recording

When creating/scheduling your download, you can choose 'Trimmed Recording' under the 'Store as' drop down menu


Once the recording is complete, you will see a red countdown notice showing how long until the recording is trimmed


2. After your Recording is Complete

Click the '3-dots' menu on the recording tile


Under the 'Store as' drop down menu, choose 'Trimmed Recording'


Once the recording is set to trimmed, you will see a red countdown notice showing how long until the recording is trimmed
