Edit a video clip

You can trim (cut) a video clip. You could, for example, cut a clip at the point you want the movie to end. Trimming a video clip doesn’t delete footage, it just divides the footage into two clips.

To trim a video clip:

Do one of the following:
- Double-click the video clip.
- Select the video clip, and then press the Space bar.
Play the movie until you reach the point at which you want to insert a cut.
You can drag the slider at the bottom of the movie controls panel (shown below) to go to a specific point in the movie.
Choose Trim from the Action pop-up menu.

To cancel the cut, choose Reset Trim from the Action pop-up menu.
