- This video shows how to use Quicktime Player on Mac to either cut video from the beginning or end of a clip and also how to cut a part of the clip out of the middle. Perfect for cutting things out of a saved Zoom recording.
No pretentious intro, no spinning logos, no crazy music, straight to point - wonderful. Thank you!
Thank you for this. The Apple help was completely useless in explaining how to cut out part of a video. Your explanation was clear, simple, and straightforward.
straight to the point, clear, informative, no waste of time.... beautiful! Thx. Exactly what I needed to know
Love it, no long nonsense intro he just got right to business. Appreciate you Scott
Excellent. Short, clear, to the point. If only all explanations were this good!
Perfect level of explanation for the simple problem I wanted to solve. Well done.
Wow - seems so simple and intuitive once I see you do it, but until I saw this video I didn't know the process to get rid of something in the center - thanks! Great video, brief and super helpful!!!!
One of the best tutorial. Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge. I have been wanting to know how to remove part in the middle for years. I can't thank you enough.🙏🏻
Me too! Finally found someone online who could "splain" it simply.
I really appreciate this video. I'm new to Quicktime and this was fast and no-nonsense. Thank you so much!
Holy Moley ... I had no idea QT could do editing. Brilliant. A perfect tutorial. No fluff, no BS. Cheers.
No BS, straight to the info I needed. Perfect. Thanks!
Thank you Scott ... Hugely Helpful!!!! Happy Christmas from Ireland!!!!

Well done. You provided exactly the information I needed in a short and concise video.
Short, but very helpful! Thanks!
Simple and straight to the point. I appreciate it.
Huge help! I tried learning how to split clip of video on about five other video tutorials. This was the one that worked for me. Thank you!

very simple and super useful, thank you!
Thanks, this is just what was looking for.
Fabulous tutorial. I only knew how to trim before. Thank you!
Thanks for the split click instructions!
thank you!!! SO helpful!!! I am grateful for your information!!!!
This was super clear and helpful. Thank you for putting it up.
Thank you so much. Didn't know that we can use split clip the cut in the middle
THANK YOU , YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND
Even easier as trimming duplicates in two and drag the "new" second clip at the end of the first clip 💪🏼💪🏼👍🏼 thank you, appreciate it
Super helpful! Thanks for the pointer about how to get to the correct timestamp too. I was driving myself crazy doing it with my mouse
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much best video on UA-cam for this😀
Glad it helped
Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for :)
Thanks so much! This was incredibly helpful :)
Super clear explanation! I have been looking for something like this since a long time ago! Although Apple has moved menu options around in the more recent versions, it still works great! Just use keyboard shortcuts and stop looking for the menu options!
Thanks a lot, a very practical example.
genius, man. subscribed for life.
Amazing. Thank you so much for this.
Thanks for the clear and compact explanation! I can't find a way to save each split clip with a different name!
Thank you this actually works great!!
God bless you. This was really helpful

THANK YOU!
Thanks, this helps.
Ok Scott, thanks for trying to explain this nonsense that whoever made this could have made it easy. You explained it but it's still easier for me to go along and just keep splitting the clips, then go back and click on what looks - looks are deceptive with this - like the part you want gone. They could've made the entire thing something you would see above as if you were watching it since some of the clips don't look like anything, you know people places etc. So when you've moved the thin oh so very thin red line that defines a clip until you get to the other edge of the clip or part of it to remove it, you just click it and a yellow box appears that includes whatever it is even if it just looks white or dark all you have to do is select delete from the drop down menu. I admit it was a very long "movie'"I made and it was a pain to split a lot of clips but just selecting delete knowing it was safe to do so made up for that. From 4-5 hrs to just 41 minutes that my HD can handle in terms of storage. I still don't get what they expected us to do once you got to the middle of it, we want what's on either side of it but making anything Not within that yellow square go away is nuts. It could be me, I gave myself points for figuring out a way to do it at all and hope it isn't confusing to anyone and again thank you for trying to explain how to use something they could've made easy to do. I couldn't get the usual play/pause window to show even if I picked floating window, as soon as the row of clips appears that window goes away but then I'm using an iMac and you might use Windows. Also using the arrow keys only took you to either side, no precision for most likely the same reason. Sean.
Great help
Thank you
great vid
Hi. I've watched 3 other vids but yours shoots straight from the hip. Made it simple for me. One final question... I notice the video was previously an .mp4 extension but now it's .mov. Is there any downside to that? Can I convert it to an .mp4 in QT?
After splitting and cutting out parts, on some editing software or if uploaded to FaceBook (standard definition), the cut parts still appear? Any ideas?
thank you
Thanks!
Is there anyway of saving those split clips as separate files?
Thanks
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
How do I keep the file location the same , I just want to trim the video and save changes . Every time I trim a video it ask me basically to save as a new video with the changes
Thanks, normally I'd use FCPX but for a simple thing in QTP I could not remember how to split out a middle section, I was expecting it to be in the trim mode... duh.
Excelent 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
worked thankls
This worked until I went to save it at the end. Under File the Save button was grayed out and I couldn't click on it to save. Any suggestions how to save it? Thanks!
Do you know why QuickTime won't allow me to trim off only seconds of a video? I can trim it if it's a minute in but not seconds in...??? Thank you.
The problem is once you have trimmed, then you can't save it back to MP4 format. Mac OS will only save it in MOV format.
Try changing the suffix of the file to .mp4.
Thank you so much! I was so confused on how to delete something in the middle.
Why is split clip grayed out on mine?
Great tip but hard to see the frames which need deletion when using Quicktime. They should fix this.
Could not split clip again. Could not trim after clip was split. Arrows did not work.
You do skip over the part about not being able to Save when you use Split Clip. If you watch your video at the end when you talk about saving, you can see it is grayed out in the File menu. Apparently QT player cannot Save in the same format when you edit that deeply. So if you start with MP4 for example, you will not be able to Save it. You will have to Export As instead to MOV format.
Which sucks, just realised that as well... Any workaround?
@@norimakigachan8142 Just as I mentioned, after splitting you can export which will result in a .MOV file. I have found mostly that is fine, but if your target recipient cannot play .MOV, you are out of luck with free QT. There used to be a QT Pro for which you had to pay that did allow export of MP4. Not sure if that is still a thing. I am sure there are other editors out there (even free ones) that will do it.
Yes, I found out about exporting as well. What sucks is that a 80Mo file turned into a 260Mo monster after shaving several minutes. Trimming reduces the file size in a way that makes sense, but splitting seems to be too complex for QT. I had to encode my video with Handbrake to bring it down to 50Mo.

Thank you for saying what I experienced when trying this: "IT'S HARD TO (F-ING) SEE" whoever at APPLE designed this interface should be FIRED!
