So I'll do Combo and it will save it out. If you try to close it it will ask you to export and you can open this up so you can see exactly where you're exporting to. You get the same options if you try to close this. You can't even go up here to actually set the name for this because it is basically some sort of weird QuickTime player composition document that you are in.ДЄll you need to do is you can either go to File, Export from here and Export is one of these formats. You would think you would go to File, Save but that's not an option. Just go in there and you can see the section of the original video that this is.Д«y just doing that there is a lot that you can do and when you're done and get it the way you want you can now save this out as a single video. In addition to that I can trim each of these sections. I can split this into as many sections as I want. You've already seen how I can move these around so I can move this one here. I go to Edit, Split Clip or use Command Y and this will split that clip into two pieces. I'm going to get it somewhere in the middle of this video. So I'm going to use my trackpad and use that to move that red line there which shows me the frame I'm at. The third command is one that you can use to split the video up. I can drag this one to the other end if I wanted to. Not only can I combine them but I can move them around. So now I've been able to combine these two. I can hit the trim button and that will shorten this video. Now I can drag the beginning and end of this if I want to trim. So I'm just double clicking on them and it goes to the trim control. I can jump into either one for trimming just as before. Now you can see I've got two videos here in the Timeline at the bottom. So to add another video I'm going to go to Edit and Add Clip to End. But you can also add other videos to this. That may be enough for a lot of things you need to do.

I'll show you how to do that at the end so that I've got a shorter video. I could just, from this point, just save it out. I hit the trim button and now I have a much shorter video. I'm able to trim off some stuff in the beginning and some stuff off the end and grab a section in the middle. In order to trim this video I just go to Edit, Trim, and now I've got this control at the bottom that allows me to set the Start and End points. I'm using the QuickTime player in El Capitan and its version 10.4. But you've got some editing commands in QuickTime player as well. That may be all you've used it for up to this point. I'm going to double click on the first one and it will open up in QuickTime player which you may just use to play the video. I've got two videos here and let me demonstrate with them. There's no need to start a whole project or final cut project to do it. You just want to trim some video or maybe combine two videos. So say you want to do some very basic video editing.
