hello all, just got my first mac, and I'm about to experiment with imovie for the first time. Sorry if this is a simple question, but I want to know how to import only a part of a clip from my HD video camera.
I have my Sony HDR-CX160 connected via USB, and I'm at the import menu. The controls only give me the option to play, go to the next clip, or go back a clip. Then when I click on "import checked", it gets ready to import the whole clip thats stored in the camera. Some of the footage I recorded is over ten minutes long and I only want to use about 30 seconds of it. How do I choose the part of the clip that I want to import into imovie?
I used to use premiere about ten years ago, so Im used to being able to just play the clips in the capture screen, and click on "record" at the part I want. Thanks in advance for the help.
