What Gets Trimmed #

When you trim, Youka creates new versions of:

• The video file
• All audio stems (vocals, instrumental, backing vocals)
• The original audio
• The lyrics alignment (adjusted to new timing)

Tips #

• Preview before trimming to ensure accuracy
• The original files are preserved — trimming creates new versions
• Use trim to remove long intros, outros, or unwanted sections
• Check the Jobs tab to monitor trimming progress
