[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1944633, member: 131855"] I think I see the distinction that you are making Van. With a specific crop. tool one could select a segment of video and apply the crop function. that would essentially create a clip with the cropped segment in basically one move. As far as I can tell QT Player is missing that function on the Mac. I didn't realize that till I read your post. As far as I can tell the effect of cropping a video in QT Player is a multi-step process that involves the following steps: 1. Open your video clip 2. Choose Trim (command T) in the Edit menu. 3. The clip is now outlined with handles at either end and the entire clip is highlighted in yellow.[B] Move the handles on the box until the segment you want to keep is highlighted by the yellow box[/B]. 4. Click [B]Trim [/B] EDIT: I initially struggled with the trim command (especially making precise selections) so I started using the spit clip command to put a split where I wanted the new clip to start and another split at the end of the command.The next step is to delete the unwanted segments leaving behind the segment you want. Also a multi-step process. The effect seems to be the same as a crop but takes more steps. [/QUOTE]
