Step 1

Go to MyMedia and select the video you want to trim or create a clip from.

Step 2

Step 3

In this example, the desired start time will be one minute. Drag the handlebar to the 1.00 point on the video. You can also select to input the 1:00 time manually.


The manual input time set on the timeline with the blue edit marker on the film strip syncs with in the player. Playing the video will also move the blue edit marker in the timeline.

You have now the desired segment of the original video.

Step 6
