Hi, i can use the edit in iphoto to save a piece of a movie clip, but suppose i want to delete the middle of a clip. I can't seem to find a simple way to doe this. Do i have to cut the beginning and the end of the movie separately, save each and then combine them in Quicktime? this seems very cumbersome.
Thanks..

Use a movie editor - like iMovie - for editing movies.

sure i can do that, and even easier would be to just use Quicktime. But i was just looking for a simple way to do this in iPhoto. Seems strange that the movie editer is set up to just allow only one kind of cutting.
I have to agree with Wayne. The apparent ability of iPhoto to edit movies (Edit in iPhoto and Edit in External Editor shown in dropdown menu) and the disappointing message received when trying either option, "The selected items can’t be edited in iPhoto. To shorten a video, double-click it and choose Trim from the Action (gear) menu," seem to contradict each other. And why on earth should that message be displayed when one chooses "Edit in External Editor"? That must certainly be an interface error.
Won't argue with that and suggest
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
to tell the developers your thoughts.
The confusion is because iPhoto isn't doing any of the video work. What's happening is that a QuickTime window is opening inside iPhoto - but that's no model of clarity either.
