• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

That is a pretty general statement.
What exactly do you mean by "cut videos"?
Are these videos you have taken yourself? How are you getting the clips?
If you are looking to do some quick edits, iMovie should suffice for you. If you purchased your Mac from Apple, then iLife was likely pre-installed on your machine. While I would never suggest it for a professional job, iMovie can produce some decent results.

Either way, you will have to provide more detail about exactly what you intend on doing for anyone to give a more detailed and concise answer.
