Steps to Trim a Video:
Select Timeline from the View menu while in the storyboard view.
Click the clip you want to shorten on the timeline.
To find the moment at which you wish to trim the clip, use the playback controls underneath the preview
monitor.
Then do as follows:
l Click Clip, then click Trim Beginning when the playback indicator is where you want the chosen video or
audio clip to begin playing.
l Click Clip, then click Trim End when the playback indicator is where you want the selected video or audio
clip to end up.
Notes
To set the start and end trim points on a clip, we can also drag the trim handles. After we click a clip on the
timeline, trim handles appear as little black triangles at the start and conclusion of the clip. The pointer turns
into a red double-headed arrow when you hover it over a trim handle. To change the clip’s start or end point,
drag a trim handle.
To see clips on the timeline more clearly, use button one to zoom in on the timeline. On the timeline toolbar,
the Zoom Timeline In button is represented by a magnifying glass with a plus sign (+) inside of it.
