The Trim Video Clip window gives you access to quite a bit of information
at once.

At the top of the window you'll see the Video Timeline. The timeline shows
you still frames from different points within the video. It also shows you an
audio waveform for any sound in the video.

Along the top, you'll find the video length. Just below the audio waveform
is a slider bar that you can use to move to different points in the clip.

Using the Video Timeline, you can visually pick just the part of the video
that you want to include in your slide

Below the Video Timeline, you'll find three preview panes. All the way to
the left is the Preview window. Use the playback controls to preview the
changes you’ve made. If you want to reset the video to the original state,
simply press the Reset icon.
Just beneath the preview you will also find
time and frame information.

This information will update as you move
your mouse over the Video Timeline.
You'll find this very useful when making
precision edits.
