You've got this strip at the bottom and you can see the cut there. Now you go into this mode that's kind of like trimming. Then you can use Split Clip, or Command Y. So position the playback head where you want to make the first cut. In the normal playback mode here there's an option for Split Clip which is Command Y. What if you don't want to trim some off of the beginning or the end but you want to take a section out of the middle. Even though I've trimmed some if I hit Undo you can see I can go back to the full length of the video there. It's just going to cut some off the beginning and the end but it's not going to change the format or compression or anything of the section that you keep. In other words it's going to be lostless. However when you trim like this and then you go to Save you'll be saving it using the exact same settings as the current video. So you can't set specific export options and compression options. You can only export as a standard video format.
Now one of the down sides of using QuickTime Player for anything is the Export options are very limited. When you hit Trim you're left with just the section in the middle. Click and hold and now you have finer control. You can do the same thing with the beginning here. If your video is long dragging here is going to move pretty quickly and it's going to be hard to figure out exactly where you want to cut the video.īut if you click and hold and wait a second you can see that the area at the bottom expands and now you have finer control over this location. When you've got it just where you want it you can hit the Trim button and the beginning and the end will be gone and you just have this section in the middle. You can click and drag the ends to trim off some from the beginning and the end. When you go into this mode you see this strip here at the bottom with the yellow box surrounding it. Command T is the keyboard shortcut for this. If you go to Edit, Trim you can enter a mode where you can trim video. But there are some editing features as well. Now it appears that really all you can do here is play the video.
So QuickTime Player should be the default app whenever you double click a video file on your Mac. You don't have to go to a full fledged editing app like iMovie. So if you've taken some videos and you want to trim a little off the beginning or the end or take out a section in the middle you can do that using the QuickTime Player.
