I have a long clip I want to import into Motion 5. I don't want to use it all but a piece of it. The clip is 3-minutes and I want about 30-seconds. How do I trim it?
Can I use i and o like in Final Cut?

Yes you can trim it in final cut pro after.
This is difficult to describe. I have a 3-minute clip and I want to use 30-second pieces of it at different places in a Motion project. I don't want to cut them up before but prefer to load the 3-minute clip, edit to get the first 30-seconds, then import the same 3-minute clip again and edit for the second 30-seconds and so on.
How do I edit? Can I use i and o? Or is there another method besides going to the beginning and end and dragging to get to the place I want?
And these clips have sound. I want the sound off and I know how to do that. But one of the clips I'll want the sound off to a point and then want to turn it back on. How do I do that?
You can do what you describe in Motion, but it's not what's built for. FCPX is built for that though. So my advice would be create a project in fcpx of all the clips you want, turn the sound off and export. Import that into Motion. You can split a clip where the parked is parked and cut it up that way.
