Lossless trimming of .Mov files

[NickM] “i’m pretty sure that if you do it from QT, then you will be re-compressing the shots,
losing quality”

Only if you export from QT, not if you trim a clip

Will needs “trim down these 20 min files and make a few smaller files,
so exporting it is.
unless he made x number of copies of the master file, then trimmed down each one!

or used FCP to Batch Export or Media Manage.
really, it;s not so complicated a situation.
people do this every day

Sure – I had suggested making copies of the clip before trimming. Didn’t say it was a neat solution! Personally I’d just make subclips in FCP, or capture it properly in the first place…
