Trim a .mov clip without creating iMovie project

I would like to trim a video clip that I have in iMovie and iPhoto. I just want to shorten the file and save it. I do not want to make it into a iMovie project. I know this can be done on iPhone. Can it be done in iMovie or Iphoto or by some other simple free software?

I am running iMovie 10.0 and iPhoto 9.5 on a iMac with Mavericks.

There is free software called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 that will do this.

I think you can also do this in QuickTime Player X, but I have not tried it myself.
