Drag the leftmost part of the box to the point right where you want to split the clip. Click on the Clip where you want to put a break, you will see the yellow selection box appear. Click on your even so that you can see the movie thumbnails in the edit view. Method 2, Do it in iMovie, even though it can’t be done! (Much better in mu opinion as you don’t need to leave iMovie) Re-open the full movie and use the trim option to create and save the next clip. Click “File > Save As….” and save it (make sure you choose a new file name, or you are overwriting the whole clip, which you will need again. Click “Edit > Trim” and trim the movie to contain just the clip you want.
Export the movie from iMovie (or just use the main file you made when creating the copy of your analogue video). (I’ve not tried this, so i’m just paraphrasing someone else, if it doesn’t work say so in the comments) Method 1, Use Quicktime and trim it to save several videos. I found numerous people having this issue, most seem to agree with the analysis above as to how clever it is, not including this as an option. So, after speaking with Apple support, I was finally advised that I’m trying to do something that the program doesn’t support! and I’d need some kind of pro app to do it, well that’s just fucking dumb! Splitting a clip inside an event did not seem possible, which is kind of silly, I called Apple.
Yours doesn’t, that’s why your’e reading this. You can split an event using “File > Split Event Before Selected Clip”, but this only works when your event has multiple clips. If you try to do this to a clip in an event, the option to split clip is greyed out. When you have an clip in a project you can can highlight a point in the clip and click “Clip > Split Clip” (Command+Shift+S) and this will slice the file down to the millisecond. Likely hood is you want to split this clip, inside the event, into several clips, so you can organise your home movie collection easier.īut it turns out you cant do this, you have 2 options for splitting events and clips. So, when importing your old analogue videos into iMovie, you probably have one massive 2-3hr clip and this clip probably covers several events.
