Clipchamp - Trim a Video with Clipchamp Tutorial

Trim a video with Clipchamp by cutting and removing sections across tracks. The tutorial shows placing the playhead, using the scissors to cut, deleting unwanted parts, and using S to split instantly. It demonstrates restricting cuts to a single clip, adjusting size, and realigning tracks, plus recovering a removed section by dragging handles after a cut.

00:00:07

you will very often need to make cuts.

00:00:10

This can be to shorten a video,

00:00:12

remove unnecessary sections,

00:00:14

or fix issues with a recording.

00:00:17

In my introduction,

00:00:18

which combines voice and camera,

00:00:21

I wasn't able to speak naturally on the first take.

00:00:24

I therefore want to remove the problematic section at the beginning of the clip

00:00:29

and keep the part I'm happy with.

00:00:31

I position the play head precisely where I want to split the clip.

00:00:36

I then clicked the scissors icon to make the cut.

00:00:39

Be careful

00:00:41

when you move the play head and make a cut.

00:00:43

All the elements across all tracks are split into two parts.

00:00:47

I'll therefore use the undo button to cancel my action.

00:00:51

To cut only the specific clip

00:00:54

without affecting the logo and music,

00:00:56

I select the relevant track and click the scissors icon.

00:01:00

I can do the same at the end of the recorded sequence.

00:01:03

I then delete the section I don't want to keep.

00:01:06

I can also press S to instantly split the clip at the current position.

00:01:13

Finally,

00:01:13

I'm going to reduce the size of the screen recording at the end of the video.

00:01:18

The split can also be performed directly by right clicking the relevant element.

00:01:26

Once I'm satisfied with the result,

00:01:28

I make sure to reposition the elements on the other tracks

00:01:32

so that they align with my final clips.

00:01:35

Here's a useful tip,

00:01:37

if you make a cut and realize a few minutes later that you shouldn't have,

00:01:42

you can drag the beginning or end handle of the clip to extend it

00:01:46

and recover the section you removed.

00:01:49

This is useful because you don't have to undo all

00:01:52

the changes you made after accidentally cutting the clip.
