Edit a movie
Want to quickly edit a movie? QuickTime Player lets you make common movie edits like trim, rearrange, and rotate. You can also split a movie into multiple clips and manipulate each one individually. To begin, choose View > Show Clips, then use the commands in the Edit menu to fine-tune your movie.
