To use MoviePlayer to trim away unwanted portions of a movie:

  1. Open any movie.

  2. Select any portion of it by holding down the shift key and dragging the slider (also called the playbar thumb.)



  3. Hold down the option key and choose Trim from the Edit menu. The portions of the movie outside the selection will be deleted.

  4. When you save your movie, make sure to choose "Make movie self-contained", otherwise the data will actually stay in the movie file, though it's not visible.
