Reference
Inputs and parameters
The same on every surface: the desktop app, Claude through MCP and the API. Unknown parameters are refused, so a typo never runs with a default.
Inputs
| Name | Type | Limits | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| video required | video | 500 MB, 600 s | Source video or GIF |
Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Accepted | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| start | float | 0 | at least 0 | Start, seconds. |
| end | float | · | at least 0 | End, seconds (default: end of the video). |
| reencode | bool | true | true, false | Frame-accurate cut (re-encode). False = fast keyframe cut. |
Outputs
- videovideo, mp4
API
Run Trim video from the API
curl https://imference.com/tools/video-trim \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $IMFERENCE_API_KEY" \ -F video=@video.mp4
Files go in multipart fields named after the inputs; JSON works too, with {"inputs": {...}, "params": {...}} and https URLs or base64 data: URIs. The answer is a request_id: poll GET /status?request_id=... until it returns the outputs. Pay per call from a wallet instead at POST /ondemand/tools/video-trim. A run that fails is refunded to your credits. Details in the reference.
