This is the first time I've needed to do this, and so far I haven't seen a way. I understand how to trim the start and end, but I need to cut out a section between the 2 minutes mark and the 2 minute 45 second mark; IOW, I need to cut about 45 seconds out of a video clip?

How do I????

Many thanks!

With the video clip on the timeline, select the video clip on the timeline and create a split at the start of the segment you want to remove and another split point at the end of the segment. Select the segment you want to remove and delete.

That did work, although it's not all that intuitive, but thanks to your help, I did get it done.

The editors I'm more familiar with have two markers available, you place one where you want the start of the cut and the second at the end.

I did discover another way to accomplish the same thing, perhaps with an advantage - the SCENE DETECTION tool. It seems that by selecting scenes, I can pull the scenes I want into the STORYLINE and leave the scenes out I don't want. Here's why I think there may be and advantage to this method:

When we cut a out a section of a video, we get a noticeable 'jump' or disruption, IOW, the flow is not smooth. We would get the same effect with the scene selection detection method, but we could add a video transition effect, say a fade out/fade in between the disjointed parts and I think that would be more desireable.

You mean similar to this method?

I find the scene detection to be completely unreliable and you often have to do additional edits since most of the time the scene detector creates too many scenes and often not at all where you want it.

Transitions can be added between any two segments no matter how you created them. Just switch to the storyline and add the transitions there.

That would be 6 of one or a ½ dozen of the other…

I found it far more intuitive than the [i]Mark In - Mark Out, now what[I]?

Scene Detection is completly different and as Walt aludes, something that only some people use. (it does have its place)

If you are getting jumps it is most likely a Video Card or PC issue. How about listing your specs.

I'm getting jumps because I have removed a section of the video.

Yep - exactly like that. Also, I found I could add a transition where I made the cut. Pretty easy actually - you just have to know how!

Thanks guys!

You would also get jumps using the scene detection method if you did't have those transitions

Using the "markers" method takes too many clicks

Isn't that what I said in a prevoious post which I quote here? ? ? ?

However, what I didn't realize at the time I said that is that you can insert a transistion using either method.
