Small tutorial: Cut movies and videos in iMovie

Before you can get started, you need to start iMovie. The individual steps required for video editing can also be found in the picture gallery.

1. Click on "File" and then on "New Movie ...". Now select a topic in the new window and give the project a name.
2. The top half now shows you all the imported videos. Select a video or a section with the left mouse button and add it to your project in the lower half by drag-and-drop.
3. You can also mark and save only a fraction of a video with the mouse button and add it to the video. This way you can split the videos into individual sections and reassemble them.
4. Now select a second video or a video section and add it to your project as described in step 2. Insert the second video after the first video.
5. Now click on "Transitions" in the lower left corner and select a transition. Then drag and drop it between the two videos.
6. If you press the [space bar], you can watch your edited video.

As an alternative to editing, you can also add a picture-in-picture effect in iMovie.
