I have long video clips (digitized from 8 mm film). Is there a way to split them so I can work with only shorter clips for Photo editing? The problem is that Photo editing affects an entire video clip, so edits to improve some segments may negatively affect other segments. Therefore, I wonder if I can split the long video, then separately Photo-edit the shorter clips.

Hi there Eliot Hudson,
You should be able to trim the video and select the 'Save Video as a New Clip' option to then edit it separately from the remainder of the video.
Save Video saves only the trimmed version of the video. Save as New Clip keeps the original version and saves an additional trimmed version in your library.
Have a look at the steps in this support article for more information about how to do that: How to edit videos on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac - Apple Support
Take care.

Excellent. Thank you!
It is important to note that the new clip is saved into the Library. If working with a clip in an Album, the new clip will not appear in that Album. It must be located in the Library (not difficult using the "Get info" of the original clip), then dragged into the Album.
Many thanks. I truly appreciate how Apple supports its users.
can you split a video clip in photos
