Trim a media clip embed to play only a specific segment, so you can skip filler and focus on what matters.

Lectures and long videos often have tangents or filler between the parts you care about. A media clip embed with a time range plays only the segment you specify, so revisiting the note takes you straight to the point.

Prerequisites

A media clip embed already exists in your note. If you don't have one yet, see the Create a media clip section of the study note tutorial.

Open the hash property editor

Right-click on the media clip embed in your note. Choose Edit hash properties.

The hash property editor opens with the Media Clip section at the top.

Set the start and end time

Enter the start time in the Start field and the end time in the End field.

For example, to play only the segment from 2:15 to 4:30:

Start: 2:15
End: 4:30

If you want the clip to play from a specific point through to the end of the video, enter just the start time and check Play to video end.

Apply the changes

Click Apply. The embed's #t= hash updates to reflect the new range. In reading mode, the embed plays only the segment you set.

The resulting link looks like this:

![[00:02:15|400]](https://example.com/video#t=02:15,04:30)

Edit or remove the time range

Right-click the embed and choose Edit hash properties again. Change the times, or click the reset button next to the Media Clip header to clear them. Click Apply.

Write the hash by hand

You can also type the #t= value directly in the link instead of using the editor. The format is #t=start,end in seconds or MM:SS / HH:MM:SS notation.

![[lecture.mp4#t=135,270]]

This plays from 2:15 to 4:30. See Hash Properties for the full syntax.
