Picking Just the Clip you Want
The Video Trimmer is designed to make using just the right part of your
video as easy as possible.
Begin by finding the area in the video where you want the trimmed down
clip to begin playing. You can do this by moving the mouse cursor across
the Video Timeline. Notice that the Preview window updates to show you
exactly what you’ll see at that point in the video.

Once you’ve found where you want your
video to start, go ahead and click in the
Video Timeline. This will place a marker in
at that point in the video.
In the Start Frame preview, click the Set
Start Time icon. This will move the
starting position of the video clip to the
marker you set in the timeline.

Now do the same thing for the End Frame. Move the mouse across the
Video Timeline to find where you want to stop the video. Once you’ve
found that point, click to place a marker and click on the Set End Time icon.

The highlighted region between the two markers is your clip. You can see
how the clip looks by clicking on the Play button. If the clip looks good,
click on Ok to apply your changes.

You can also trim your clip by clicking and dragging the start and end time
flags. The amount of the video in between those flags will be the trimmed
clip.
