Yes this is possible, we havn't updated the docs[1] yet but the editor uses our public API for all the effects.

    {
      "source": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhyANGHDDH8",
      "trim": {
        "start": 145,
        "end": 148
      }
    }

Cool but please clamp the values to be within 0 and currentDuration.

I'm getting an error that the duration that youtube sends me back is higher than your read out duration:

{ errors: { message: 'end(8s) > currentDuration(7.383s)' } }

Good idea of just trimming to the end if the end value is greater than the video duration, I'll add that next week.

As a quick hack since the youtube video duration is 7.383s, and you want to trim to the end just omit the end property.
