How to edit video in imovie on mac

Only video clips can be split. To split a photo, make a copy of it.

1. In the iMovie app on your iPhone, open a movie project.

2. Scroll the timeline to position the playhead where you want to split a video clip.

   Tip: Make sure the playhead isn’t positioned at the very beginning of the clip.

3. Do one of the following:

   • Tap a clip in the timeline to reveal the inspector at the bottom of the screen, tap the Actions button , then tap Split.

   • Tap the clip (it becomes outlined in yellow), then swipe down over the playhead to split the clip, as if you were using your finger to slice through it.

iMovie inserts a None transition (also known as a cut and shown by this icon ) between the two newly created clips.

You can change this transition to a cross-dissolve or other transition. To learn how, see Adjust transitions in iMovie on iPhone.
