Q: CAN I EDIT AND TAKE PIECES OF THE VIDEO OUT OF THE VIDEO WITH QUICKTIME?

I want to edit a video and take out portions I do not want there for a video post. How do I edit out (trim) out bits I do not want and then save the new video?

    These steps assume you've got the Pro version of QuickTime Player 7 for Windows:

    Open the file you wish to edit and move the playhead (you can slide it and use the right/left arrow keys to adjust) to the first frame of the video you want to remove.

    Use the letter i key to create an "in point". You'll see a small marker at the bottom of the timeline noting your place in the file.

    Adjust the playhead to the last frame you wish to edit and use the letter o key to set an "out point". You'll see another marker and the edit area is highlighted in the timeline. This is known as a "Selection".

    From the Edit menu you can "Cut" or "Delete" this selection.

    Repeat those steps until you've removed what you want from the original file.

    File menu and choose "Save As". Pick a save location and give the file a new (different) name.

    Done. Your original file is left untouched by those edits.
