Need up to 30 seconds to load.
in this video i'm going to show you how
you can cut trim
and delete in imovie let's get started
okay guys so when it comes to using
imovie you can pretty much edit
an entire video with just these three
simple kind of techniques
and that is trim cut and delete
so the first command i'm going to show
you is how to
cut a clip so right here i have an
example video that i've just imported
into imovie so to start cutting a
particular video
all you have to do is click on the video
itself until it's highlighted in yellow
and then you want to bring the cursor to
the particular part of the video
that you would like to cut so i can zoom
in a little bit here so it's
kind of easier to see so i want to cut
the video right here in this kind of
little valley of audio here
so i can bring the cursor here click
there and then i can go
and right click on the video so right
here we have a few different options
that we can select
so what i want to click on is split clip
which is also known for cutting the clip
so i can just go and select that one and
that will go
and take that one video and and divide
it into
two videos that we can then reorganize
trim and add new effects to
as well so if you're looking to really
speed up the process maybe you have a
really long video and you're looking to
um kind of cut various bits of the video
another really quick way on how you can
do this is by clicking
command b and that will also allow you
to do the same prompt
so again i can go to this part of the
video
select it and then go command b and that
will again go
and cut that part of the video so the
next thing i'm going to show you guys is
how to trim
a particular clip so right here we have
this clip that we just cut on either end
and i'm actually looking to trim this
um just to make it a little bit more
concise in the video that i'm making
so to trim all you have to do is click
on the
particular video so i can click on this
one in the middle until it's highlighted
in yellow and then all i have to do is
take my mouse cursor
and either bring it to the front or the
back of the video
and i'll do this on the back and as you
can see guys as i'm getting towards the
back of this particular clip
we now have this icon with two arrows
symbolized
so simply all i have to do is click and
hold
and bring this to the left and that will
allow me to trim
that particular clip as well and then i
can also go
and do the same for the other side so
again we're getting those icons so i can
click and hold
and drag that one as well so now we have
a trimmed clip um in the middle of the
video
and now what i'm going to do is show you
how to delete part of a video so say for
example
um towards the end i made a mistake on
the video
so i can easily go and delete that
particular part of the video
so again to do this i can go select that
one
click into there and click command b
which was the shortcut that we used just
before
and then i can go and zoom in again and
click here
and again command b and right here we
have
this particular video so i can click on
this one make sure it's highlighted and
then simply press the delete button on
your keyboard
and that will remove that particular
clip as well
and also you can do that for any video
within this as well
so say for example i wanted to delete
the introduction
i can go and do that one as well and if
you've made a mistake at any point
during editing any of these clips all
you have to do to
undo a change is go and press command z
and that will bring back um that deleted
clip and i can also do the same
to bring back that one as well but i'm
going to leave that as is as i'm now
happy um with those particular edits but
there you have it guys those are three
really simple kind of techniques that
will allow you to edit
an entire video from start to finish um
with just
trimming cutting and deleting so there
you have it guys
um hopefully this video has been helpful
for you if there's any other videos
you'd like me to make then please drop a
comment down below
and i'll be more than happy to help you
guys out so as always thanks for
watching i'll see you all
in the next one
