Trimming Audio

import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs'; import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';

The <Html5Audio /> tag supports the trimBefore and trimAfter props.
With it, you can trim off parts of the audio.

import {AbsoluteFill, Html5Audio, staticFile, useVideoConfig} from 'remotion';

export const MyComposition = () => {
  const {fps} = useVideoConfig();

  return (
    <AbsoluteFill>
      <Html5Audio src={staticFile('audio.mp3')} trimBefore={2 * fps} trimAfter={4 * fps} />
    </AbsoluteFill>
  );
};

This will result the audio to play the range from 00:02:00 to 00:04:00, meaning the audio will play for 2 seconds.

The audio will still play immediately at the beginning - to see how to shift the audio to appear later in the composition, see the next article.

:::note Legacy props You can also use the deprecated startFrom and endAt props, but the new trimBefore and trimAfter props are preferred. :::
