If you’re new to iMovie, editing a video can seem like a daunting task. However, with just a few simple techniques, you can edit an entire video from start to finish. In this guide, we’ll show you how to cut, trim, and delete clips in iMovie.
To begin, open iMovie and import the video you want to edit. To cut a specific clip, click on the video itself until it’s highlighted in yellow. Then, bring the cursor to the part of the video you want to cut. Right-click on the video and select “Split Clip” or use the shortcut “Command + B” to cut the clip. This will divide the clip into two separate videos that you can reorganize, trim, and add new effects to.
To trim a clip, click on the clip you want to trim until it’s highlighted in yellow. Then, take your mouse cursor to the beginning or end of the clip. When you get close to the end of the clip, you’ll see an icon with two arrows appear. Click and hold on the icon and drag it to the left to trim the clip.
If you need to delete part of a clip, click on the clip you want to delete until it’s highlighted in yellow. Press “Command + B” to cut the clip where you want to delete. Then, click on the part you want to delete and press the delete button on your keyboard.
If you make a mistake during editing, you can always undo your changes by pressing “Command + Z.”
In conclusion, with these three simple techniques (trimming, cutting, and deleting), you can edit an entire video in iMovie. We hope this beginner’s guide has been helpful for you. If you have any other questions or topics you’d like us to cover, please leave a comment below.
