Trim Music Online: Create Custom Intro Clips
Every YouTuber, streamer, and podcaster needs an "Intro." That catchy 5-10 second clip that plays while your logo spins.
You don't need to commission an orchestra. You can often find a royalty-free stock track and Trim It to fit your needs perfectly.
Finding the "Sting"
A full 3-minute song is too long. You are looking for a Musical Sting: a short, punchy section that resolves nicely.
- The Drop: In electronic music, this is the high-energy moment.
- The Riff: A catchy guitar melody.
- The Outro: Often a clean chord fade-out that works great as an intro.
How to Cut Precision Clips
- Zoom In: Use the zoom feature on our Audio Trimmer to see the waveforms clearly.
- Find the Beat: Try to start your cut exactly when a drum hits (the largest spike in the waveform). This ensures your edits sound rhythmic.
- Trim Tightly: Don't leave 2 seconds of silence before the music starts.
- Fade Out: Apply a 0.5s fade to the end so it transitions smoothly into your voice.
