Cutting, Copying, or Deleting a Section of a Movie

Selecting and moving, copying, or deleting (trimming) part of a movie is easy in
QuickTime Pro.

To cut, copy, or delete part of a movie:

1

Move the playhead until the desired frame appears, or select the part of the movie you
want to modify (use the In and Out selection markers and the arrow keys).

2

Choose Edit > Copy, Cut, or Delete.

If you choose Copy or Cut, you can paste the selection elsewhere.

3

Position the playhead where you want to paste the selection and choose Edit > Paste.

QuickTime Pro inserts the selection you pasted at the position of the playhead.

You can also delete all parts of a movie that are not selected by choosing Edit > “Trim
to Selection.”

Note: After you delete parts of a movie, the file size stays the same until you choose
File > Save As and select “Save as a self-contained movie.”
