Without a doubt, one of the most underrated Mac software for the general user that comes built into every Mac is Apple’s QuickTime Player. Of course, the reason for this is that in addition to being just a video player that supports multiple formats, QuickTime also allows users to perform some basic video trimming operations. That can be useful for the casual user, especially considering how expensive, cumbersome, and complex some video editing software can be.
Let’s see how to quickly trim a video clip using Apple’s QuickTime Player on your Mac.
Step 1: Open the video clip you want to trim with QuickTime. Most clips will open by default on it. If not, just right click on the video clip and select Open with and then select QuickTime Player.
Step 2: From Editor menu on the menu bar, select cut. Alternatively, press Command + T on your keyboard.
When you do, a timeline will appear on the video window.
The timeline consists of three main elements: the Play/Pause button is on the far left, the timeline is in the middle, and cut And Cancel buttons on the right.
Step 3: Start playing your video clip. You will notice that the red playhead will start to move from left to right. This is actually a filter tool that you can click and drag back and forth until you find exactly where you want to start and end your trimmed video clip. General writing.
Step 4: Use the yellow handles around the timeline. First, click and drag the left button until you reach the starting point of the video clip that is about to be trimmed that you previously defined using the red playhead mentioned above. You’ll notice that the timestamp will show up to aid your accuracy.
Likewise, click and drag the left yellow handle until you reach the part where you want your video clip to end.
Step 5: When your selection is ready, click the . button cut let QuickTime do the cutting.
When done, give your trimmed video clip a new name and save it in whatever format you choose.
Cool Tip: Use Cancel Anytime button to exit crop mode with your video clip completely untouched.
Step 6: Once your trimmed video is ready, you can also choose to share it via email, iMessage and through some of the most important social networks and video services on the web right from QuickTime itself.
Note: You can undo your crop at any time by pressing Command+Z on your keyboard or by selecting Undo cut from Editor menu.
