Start your clip on its best moment

Set the exact second your clip starts and ends.

Steps

1. Select your clip on the timeline.

   

2. Select Trim, hide, delete and more to open its panel.

   

3. In Starts at, enter the second your clip should begin and press Enter.

   

4. In Ends at, enter the second it should stop and press Enter.

   

If something goes wrong

• To trim by dragging instead, select Trim (T) and drag either end of the section.
• Times are seconds into the video the clip comes from, so a start of 1 skips its first second.
• Select Undo (⌘Z or Ctrl+Z) to put the old start or end back.
