While you can trim quickly this way, you can't actually split the file into two and match up frames so you don't lose anything in the middle (which you can do on 10.7). In QuickTime X on 10.6, we've got a visual and very fast Trim tool it shows exactly where the video will be truncated with an easy, iMovie-esque scrubber bar, and it does indeed save wicked fast once you trim your clip. (I'll tackle the step-by-step of getting Lion's version of QT X to do this in a subsequent post.)īy subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy. If you're running 10.7 Lion, you have access to QuickTime X's new Split Clip command if you're running 10.6 as in the example below, you don't. Here's one example: splitting a long & large movie into segments for easier uploading or emailing. That's a shame, because it means many Mac users are missing out on most of the wonderful tricks QuickTime Player 7 can do to save you time and aggravation. While you can use the v7 player on Snow Leopard and Lion, getting access to the Pro features still requires a $29.99 license code. The fact is, for sheer Swiss Army utility it can't (yet) hold a candle to the veteran QuickTime 7 Player with the QuickTime Pro upgrade. Say what you will about the QuickTime X framework and player introduced in Mac OS X 10.6 - it's crazy speedy on multicore machines, it provides the foundation for next-generation features, it lets you drag-and-drop to combine movie clips, all that good stuff. Updated to clarify that a split clip feature exists in 10.7's version of QuickTime X.
