Can Videos Captured by iPhone be Edited (Trimmed) on Mac

Hi.


I have a couple of videos that I captured using my iPhone and they are available to me on my MBP via the cloud. I want to trim the videos a bit because they are too long to be posted on YouTube. This article appears to say that it can be done but the instructions aren't exactly valid on a Mac. Very specifically, when I hover over the Actions button (or click on it) I am presented with a few things that I can choose from, and Trim is disabled.


Anyone knows how it can be enabled? Is there another software that I can use for simple video editing?


Thanks in advance


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

Unfortunately Quicktime Player's editing features are disabled, which is the main problem.


For anyone else passing by: apparently the version 10 of Mac OS does not run some of the apps the way it used to.
