Beginning a video after the start

[Eimear5F8B]

Hello,
I purchased a video for my website. I would like it to automatically start after the beginning as the moving image is too slow to show. Does anyone have any suggestions please? Thank you.

Do you mean you want to cut the first few seconds from the video completely?

Hello, 
Yes, that is correct. I would like to cut the first couple of seconds of the video.

Thank you.

You may edit out the parts you do not want. You will need a video editor like Premiere Pro, Premiere Elements or Premiere Rush to do that.

There are also possibilities to give a video an in- and out-point to play only part of a video.

You will need to ask those questions in a corresponding forum. This has nothing to do with stock and stock assets.

Thank you.

I don't have a video editor. You mention the possibility to give a video an in- and out-point to play only part of a video. Is this possible without any particular spftware?
Thanks,

Eimear.

You can download free video editors for such a job if needed. To set the start time of your video on the website, you'll need to use special tags in the <i frame> embed code. It would look something like this and be added onto the URL of the video file: start=33&end=200

Are you hosting the video on your own site or is it hosted by Vimeo or YouTube? What platform are you using? WordPress? Squarespace?

As @J E L said, there are a lot of free video editors. You even may have one coming with your OS. You will, however, need to see yourself what editor fits your needs best.

As for the possibility to start the video at a certain point, you will also need to check your CMS and/or your hosting service. It's like with a car. You may put the lights on, but the button is for each car at a different position.

I reiterate what I said before:
