Download a YouTube segment by start and end time

Use Cutra to download a YouTube segment between two timestamps. Paste the video URL, enter the start and end, select Video or Audio, and save. For example, 01:42:13 to 01:42:28 selects a 15-second moment from a long recording without making you find it again in an editor.

Keep the original URL and the two timestamps in your notes. Enter them as a selection in Cutra, confirm that the end follows the start, and preview the output. Add context around quotations so the file preserves the speaker’s meaning. For several timestamp pairs, add each selection to the batch.

01:42:13 → 01:42:28 = 15 seconds

  1. Open Cutra and paste the original YouTube video URL.
  2. Choose the start and end. Select Video for MP4 or Audio for MP3.

Can the start time be more than an hour into a video?

Yes. Use hours, minutes, and seconds for long recordings, such as 01:42:13. The selected source must still be available to download.

Should I check the beginning and end of the output?

Yes. Replay both boundaries before editing or publishing, especially for dialogue and precise musical cues.

Before you save

Use sources you own or have permission to use and follow the source platform’s terms. Private, protected, removed, or restricted videos may be unavailable. Cutra collects source clips; finish captions, cropping, and publishing in your editor.
