Cut Video Segments

Cutting video segments is a fundamental skill that can elevate your editing workflow. Whether you’re trimming clips to fit a timeline, removing unwanted sections, or crafting dynamic transitions, mastering the art of cutting video ensures your projects are seamless and engaging. By learning how to efficiently cut and refine your footage, you can save time and create polished, professional-quality content.

In the "Video Editor", right click on the segment in the timeline that you wish to cut. In this example, we’ll be cutting the video.

Lock the other video segments such as the audio in this example that you do not want to cut.

Use the timeline cursor to select an area you'd like to cut by dragging the handles on the left and/or right side.

Click on the “Cut” tool or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl/Cmd + X.

Alternatively, right click on the selected area to cut.

Double-click on any part of the timeline cursor to align the handles, then move it to the desired location where you want to paste the cut segment.

Click on the “Paste” tool or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl/Cmd + V.

The copied segment will appear on the right side of the timeline cursor, with a new line added for the cut segment.

Remember to click “Save” once you’ve finished making changes.
