Chapter 2 iMovie HD Tutorial 25

The trimmed video is still present, but it won’t appear in your movie. If you decide to

lengthen the clip later, you can drag the end back out to restore all or part of the

hidden video. When you drag the edge of a clip, the adjoining clips move (or “ripple”)

along with it. Therefore, if you shorten or lengthen a clip, you shorten or lengthen your

entire movie.

Important: You can’t use this method of trimming if clip volume levels are showing.

To hide clip volume levels, choose View > Show Clip Volume Levels to remove the

checkmark. (A selected item has a checkmark next to it; you choose the item again to

deselect it.)

You can take advantage of the “ghosted playhead” in iMovie HD to choose the exact

frame where you want trimmed video to begin or end, then trim to that spot.

To precisely trim a video clip:

1 Click the clip you want to edit in the timeline viewer.

2 Drag the playhead to the frame where you want the clip to begin or end.

3 Position the pointer over the end of the clip until you see the pointer change shape.

4 Drag the end of the clip to the “ghosted” playhead (shown above) to remove the

frames that you want trimmed.

A yellow line appears and the edge of the clip automatically “snaps” against the edge of

the “ghosted playhead” when you reach the frame you selected in step 2.

5 Repeat the procedure on the other end of the clip, if you want.

Once you begin trimming clips, you’ll notice a difference in the appearance of clips in

the timeline viewer. In the illustration below you can see that full clips have rounded

corners. Clips that have been trimmed or cropped have straight edges where they’ve

been shortened. You can always extend a clip with straight ends.
