I suggest using j, k, and l for reviewing the content in the clips, up and down arrows to move between clips. If the split was required in order to move two pieces of video to different locations in the timeline, then further explanation is necessary. If the use of the split command was simply to split the clips and then remove unwanted split off content, this method of editing does accomplish the same task without the need for splitting at all. There is much else that can be done here, but this should be the necessary flow for the question that was asked. The "delete" key located above your backslash can remove unwanted selected materials, or Option-\ (backslash) can remove content outside the selection within the current clip.Īt this point, you have used iMovie to perform a very basic editing job, simply removing unwanted content.
To summarize, select your desired selection per clip, then press e to place it on the timeline.Īssuming you watch the content on the timeline and want to trim a bit more, you can use the same "i" "o" and even "x" commands to create selection. If you choose to move the play head via reviewing the timeline, make sure you press the "end" key before leaving the timeline, to place your playhead at the end of the video. Assuming you don't bother to go down to the timeline, the next inserted clip will be at the end. Place the selection per clip on the timeline:Īfter you make your selection in the clip, pressing "e" places the selection on the timeline. This is especially good when trying to place GoPro camera footage on the timeline, where you may have wanted the entirety of some clips, as the camera cuts the video always at 4 GB for file size maximum reasons.Ģ. After that, "i" and "o" can still be used to shorten the selection to the desired range.
However, if your goal is to select the entire clip, and then only cut off undesired content from the very beginning and very end, use "x" to select the entire clip first. When selecting content, using the keys "i" and "o" sets the in and out point for selection. Select your desired content from the clips first: The following works well for creating a timeline video that will be easier to manage.ġ. Keeping that in mind, it requires that you approach the problem from a new editing perspective.
The way that you edit in iMovie is not like the traditional linear experiences of the past.
