Is it possible to trim or adjust video content in InDesign's Media panel?

Question for the Community:

Is it possible to trim or adjust video content directly within InDesign's Media panel when exporting to an Interactive PDF?

The goal is to have control over where the video starts and ends within the existing content. This functionality has been a standard feature in PowerPoint for years, and I’m curious if there’s a similar option in InDesign or any potential workarounds.

Looking forward to hearing your insights and suggestions!

You can't successfully include a video in an Interactive PDF, you can include a hyperlink to an external video source, such as a YouTube video. Alternatively use another format based on HTML5  such as InDesign's Publish Online, FXL ePub or In5, that's an InDesign plugin (at extra cost).

To edit a video use Photoshop or Premiere Pro.

Interactive PDF is a horrible format for multimedia; in fact, beyond simple navigation and specialized forms, where you can control the read application, it is nothing short of a crapshoot.
