Flutter Native Video Trimmer

pub package License: MIT

A lightweight Flutter plugin for video manipulation using native code. Trim videos without FFmpeg dependency.

Note: This library focuses specifically on video trimming functionality. If you need more advanced video editing features (trim, merge, crop, rotate, etc.), consider using easy_video_editor.

  • 🔒 Privacy Focused: All processing happens locally on the device
