Editing QuickTime Movies
If you have QuickTime Pro, you can use QuickTime Player for basic movie editing.
Selecting Part of a Movie
Before you copy or delete part of a movie, you need to select the desired portion.
To select a portion of a movie, move the In and Out selection markers. The darkened
area between the two markers indicates the selected portion. To fine-tune the
selection, select a marker and move it with the arrow keys.
To see the length of a selection, choose Movie > Get Movie Properties and then choose
Time from the right pop-up menu.
To play just the selection, choose Movie > Play Selection Only, then click Play.
Cutting, Copying, or Deleting a Section of a Movie
Selecting and moving part of a movie is easy in QuickTime Pro.
To cut, copy, or delete part of a movie:

and the arrow keys).
2 Choose Edit > Copy, Cut, or Delete.
If you choose Copy or Cut, you can paste the selection elsewhere.
3 Click where you want to paste the selection and choose Edit > Paste.
QuickTime Pro adds the selection you pasted at the position of the playback head.
