Some YouTube videos are long and come with a lot of stuff.
On the other hand, some videos are partially interesting, for a specific time such as 3 minutes into the video.
In this case, you might want to download part of a YouTube video instead of downloading it full.
It will save your storage and the video will be concise.
The reason behind it is that a shorter YouTube video will be smaller in size.
In this article, I will tell you how to download part of a YouTube video (or crop/trim it) in 3 easy steps.
