  // Assuming you have a File instance of a video
  File inputVideo = File('/path/to/your/video.mp4');
  
  try {
    // Trim video from 2 seconds to 8 seconds
    File trimmedVideo = await trimmer.trimVideo(
      file: inputVideo,
      startMs: 2000,  // 2 seconds
      endMs: 8000,    // 8 seconds

Additional Utilities

The package includes some utility functions in the FileUtils class:

// Generate a unique path for output video
String outputPath = await FileUtils.generateOutputPath();

// Check if a file is a video file based on extension
bool isVideo = FileUtils.isVideoFile(File('/path/to/file.mp4'));

// Get just the filename from a path
String filename = FileUtils.getFilename('/path/to/video.mp4'); // Returns 'video.mp4'
