  • need a progam to trip a .mov file

    hi

    im looking for a program that can trim a few seconds off the end of a video clip, .mov file.

    i have already compressed it in compressor with photojpg encoder and dont want to have to open it up in fcp again and export and then compresss again.

    is there a quicktime editor like soundforge for audio.

    i tried to edit in fcp but the ratio was tiny when i saved t again.

    any help appreciated

    QuickTime Pro … the best $30 any video editor will ever spend.

    Correction … the best free software any video editor will ever use … forgot that a Pro license comes with the Final Cut suite.

    Glad to help.

    Just open your MOV in QTP, set an in and out point (keyboard I & O), and choose “Trim to Selection” from the Edit menu.

    If you’re not accustom to QTP, you’ll probably want to get familiar with the “Movie Inspector” and “Movie Properties” windows too … some very useful tools.
