How to Edit Video Using QuickTime Player for Mac
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- QuickTime Player editing is quick and simple! In this tutorial I show you how to do it using QuickTime Player for macOS Catalina 10.15.2.
Not only can you use QuickTime Player to record video, audio, and your computer screen, you can use it to edit your videos!
You might be thinking: "why would I use QuickTime Player to edit when I have the much-more-capable iMovie or Final Cut Pro X already sitting on my Mac?" QuickTime Player is great for simple editing tasks, where you don't necessarily want to create a whole iMovie, or Final Cut Pro project just to get the job done.

That is the kind of tutorial I could show to my mother without further explanations. In case you wonder: I mean this as a huge compliment!
I'm a mom and I approve this message!😊
Your teaching style is truly 'teaching; very detailed and not just telling. This was very helpful!
Very informative and straight to the point. I'll use this video for reference any time I get stuck while editing a video
This video must’ve given me my biggest “NO WAY!” moments in years. Thanks for explaining these features so clearly!
Thank you so much for your tutorials. In my opinion, you are the best youtuber regarding this kind of topics.
On the other hand, being a non native English speaker, I have to say that the way you speak is awesome. Your vocalization is so good that it is of a great help for non native speakers.
Thanks a lot again for you great job.
Juan, from Spain.
You are the Bob Ross of QuickTime. The only thing missing are "happy little trees." I am a teacher and moving to online instruction. Your videos have helped immensely. Thank you.
Mike, I stand with the many you've astounded by taking time to reveal the abilities with what have likely been considered as simple apps. Being a long-time "Mac Man" (dare I claim that), this video pulled me to another video editing (YT) film of yours. From there, another subscription was added to your colony, more word-of-mouth about your videos have been passed on, &, of course, another thumbs up added. The time you've taken to appreciate new & old users of the apps you define is acknowledged, as well as, highly valued.
Thank you. This was really good. I particularly like that you are NOT talking too fast. I have lots of Zoom videos to trim.
All Cudos Dude. I've been sitting at my Mac (recovering from surgery) for a month trying to learn how to edit video. I saw some nice folks who were trying to teach this process ~ sadly all they'll ever be able to do is try. I own two nice businesses and I'm certainly not a dummy but I've never felt so dumb trying to follow the instructions I was hearing. Then, last night, I found your tutorials. What a breath of fresh air. Your concise, professional and thoughtful approach is proof that you are top-notch as an educator in this field. I'm as grateful as can be and for what it's worth, I think you're gonna be a star. I've already made two calls to tell friends to watch your videos and subscribe. Thanks Mike.
This is a tutorial that everyone that wants to learn QT should watch. Your presentation is the best I can imagine. You talk slowly with easy instructions that result with the listener being able to accomplish wonders. I purchased a MacMini M1 which lost Screenflow for a time. But with your instructions I was able to accomplish the same thing in QT, with the advantage of seeing my camera picture while recording, which SF isn't able to do. I then added my intro screen made in Keynote. The only thing I wasn't able to do was to fade out of the black titles and fade into the screen capture. Thank you so much for taking the time to make videos which help so many.
As someone who has used Final Cut (and occasionally Premier) for over 10 years, I must say this is a fantastic tutorial. I used to use QT7 to do this and always suspected the newer QT player could do all this too, but never dug into it. A great time saving option for quick simple jobs. Thankyou!
I only needed a few minutes of this video to learn how to cut out footage from "inside" my video. Excellent explanations! Nice for this old dog to start a workweek by learning a new trick -- thanks Michael!
One of the clearest and easiest video tutorials I've come across. Thank you.
I know this video is rom 4 years ago, but it is still super helpful! You have a great voice (sorry, but I hope you are a voice actor as well!)! Very clear for a newbie!
SO COMPREHENSIVE!!!! Thank you!! I'm a knucklehead editor of videos, and you broke this down PERFECTLY!!! I'm so appreciative!
The bit that's incredibly helpful to me begins around 6:24. View-->show clips, Edit-->split clip
Thank u sooo much for the tips I am just starting a RUclips channel and the video saved me sooo much stress thank you so much!
Thank you for such a clear, concise QuickTime video editing tutorial.
The content, the speed, and the voice over were all spot on!
Great video most mac users not aware of the options what they can do in QuickTime
You do excellent work. I love that you give 2 ways to do most operations. Your clear and logical instructions stick with me and make my editing easier. Thank you.
Michael, I really appreciate how patient you are with your explanation. Thank you. I'll look for other tutorials you've done.
If there is a better instructor on youtube, I haven't seen 'em. Outstanding video.
What a relief to find you, clear voice, lots of patience, unhurried, precise, a godsend to learn new things. Many thanks.
What a superb video. Well-paced, carefully worded and beautifully illustrated with examples.
You are a lifesaver! I was racking my brains over video edits to a clip being added to a Powerpoint deck. I watched some other tutorials, but they only confused me more! I came across yours, and in less than 10 minutes, found the steps I was looking for, and was able to finish my presentation before the end of your video! Thanks for making this so understandable. You're an excellent teacher!
I'm Brazilian and I'm learning about QuickTime. Thank you for helping me !
no one cares
@@alexzhu5858 evidently you do (but i gotta admit it was a funny slice...albeit you probably hurt Elaine's feelings, and that's not cool... plus she was thanking Mike, who we all can agree deserves mega kudos for his informative content ... mike's channel should be mandatory viewing for all iMovie users
@@motafov she can thank him but pls leave the race part out cause no one could care less -_-
@@alexzhu5858 ah...i see, yeah in that case i agree with ya, haha.. i thought you were referring to the fact that she was learning about QT...
mind blown, and here was i was wasting the last two hours trying to get the old Quicktime Classic from Mac OS 10.7 trying to run on my macOS Monterey setup (and failing since it can't run 32 bit apps any more) - when all along i had this functionality i didn't know still existed in the current Quicktime Player.. thank you so much for opening my eyes!
thx
THANK YOU, Michael!!! All I wanted to do was trim a couple of clips without updating my operating system, finding and downloading some software that will only be used once, and then perhaps finding out that software wasn't as 'free' as advertised. That saved me a lot of hassle!
very helpful - i just did it!!! thanks for your generosity.
Thank you so much! Finally, someone on RUclips is clear, calm, and a good teacher!!
This gentleman does an excellent job. VERY user friendly
So clear, concise, informative -- thank you!
Very helpful!! Thanks Michael!
Excellent! Thank you
You have set the gold standard for instructional youtube videos. I used to think i was too stupid to learn. Now I know the teachers just were not very good at teaching.
This was great Michael; I never realized how useful an editor QT was! And I've used Macs before most people watching this were born.Also, your demos beat them all b/c you speak slowly and clearly AND you deliver the most vital real life information.
Thank you for this very helpful video! I appreciate. your very clear explanations. Thank you.
Very well done tutorial. Thank you.
Brilliant. You are an excellent teacher. I’m an editor, but this is so helpful to train other non-creative team members, for when they need a quick fix without needing any pro apps or deep pro skills.
Great Tutorial. So it turns out I can do about 90% of what I used to use iMovie for in Quicktime - excellent !
The Quicktime clips interface can be confusing for a first time attempt at editing. This really explained everything for me. Thank you!
Thank you. You are a wonderful teacher. This learning does not come easy for me. You took care to describe things slowly so I could pause and start following along with my video. David
Best instructor ever! Much appreciate it my man!
Michael Kinney--I just watched your video and I am SO IMPRESSED. You gave one of the best and most clear explanation of an issue that I have ever seen--thanks so much. I have used iMovie, Final Cut Pro and now mainly Adobe Premier; however, sometimes (like now when I just received a long video containing multiple individual conversion of old 8mm film) I just need to select one or more segments. Again THANK YOU--I will google you and see what else you can teach me!!
I've watched 5 videos trying to explain the same thing. Yours was the best. Thanks for saving my a&&. :-)
Excellent, detailed, well represented and narrated tutorial video. This is how tutorial videos should be done. Thank you.
Thank you!
Superb! Thank you. I cannot imagine how complicated your set-up must have been to be able to record your screen, with voiceover from a composite audio source and background music and ease-in/out effects showing how you do the video editing in Quicktime at the same time as doing the video editing! I'd get terribly confused. You are a genius.
Very useful video! I’m just planing about make RUclips videos on my Mac book. Again, very useful video!
Thanks. this helped me a lot.
I loved the clarity while explaining all basics. The pace of your teaching and voice is truly appreciated!
Hey Micheal... Tim Cook is calling you on line two.
Thank you for this. I didn’t know that you could all this in QuickTime.
you are an incredible instructor! thank you so much for all your videos
You ROCK! You saved me I was able to edit one of my lectures for my class for the first time. Your teaching style is amazing, very easy to understand. Bless you!!
Really appreciate your detailed and articulate explanations. This video is a life saver, since it keeps me from going back into after effects or premiere pro, doing a tiny amount of edits and then having to render once again. Thank you Sir!
Thank you for make my editing more simplier, I must try this very simple solution for basic editing, I was using Shotcut Video Editor, maybe will switch to QuickTime Video Editor
Thank you! Great pace and excellent, easy to follow instructions.
You are amazing.. Clear, simplified and though.. Thank you so much..
Thank you, thank you, thank you. How did I not know this.
Excellent description and very well presented clear voice and cover all the subjects I was looking for, thank you so much!
Your are an excellent teacher...and unlike many other teachers you have an appealing vocal quality to add! Thanks!
Wow...you're awesome! Thank you. Your instructions were succinct and spot on. I never edited a video in my life, but was able to edit my vid with your instruction! Thank you!
thanks so much I am 10 years old and bc of you I can finally make my first good vid you are the best :D
Thank you very much. You make things easy and clear.
Great video, Michael. I'm forced to say it once again: YOU produce some of the finest videos on YouTUBE! Thank you.
Excellent. I have a video clip that I needed to rotate and didn't know how, until you explained.
Brilliant video. Thank you 🙏🏽 I have subscribed to your channel just from this one video 😀
Great video.. this helped me a lot. I was definitely looking for a way to do some of these things without using apps with more muscle. Quicktime is surely doing the trick. I miss the days of Quicktime 7 which had a lot of quick editing features. Thanks for the tip. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic, clear explanation of most useful QuickTimePlayer techniques, thank you.
You are such a great teacher. Thank you!
Good video Michael. My video was too large to email so I shrunk your instructions to the bottom of my screen, did a trim on Quick Time Player whilst referring back to you when necessary, and mailed my smaller video off within a few minutes. Job done! Thank you.
Probably the easiest tutorial I've ever found on this. Thanks for making it quick for me.
Thank for a simple, straightforward explanation and easy to understand!! You are a good instructor!!! Thank you!!!!
Thanks for the video. Please show us how to trim from already made video and make a vertical video for facebook or instagram please please.
thanks for the tip :]
This is exactly what a tutorial should look like. Thank you Michael, excellent! I am looking forward to watching the next one (guess which one: imovie!)
I find perhaps the most useful thing is in a complicated project destined for iMovie, you can do the basic choosing, trimming, and ordering of clips and *name them* clearly, because once in iMovie you can't ID them readily (other than the little Clip Information icon top right) so basically Quicktime helps with basic structure and organisation.
@JacarandaMusic Hello, that's exactly what I'm trying to do, too. Incidently, just had a look at your youtube channel and website and wow! I'm subscribing to your channel as well. Cheers from across the pond. (btw, we're not all crazy here but I'm sure we're well over our quota)
thank you so much !!
Thank you man your video of quick time teaching is so easy to learn, so far I've gotten several music vids done, I wish you could teach us with quick time video fade in fade out or easy "Switch screens or clips...thanks for your bomb teaching illustrations...
Thank you very much indeed Michael for such an informative and very helpful demonstration of how to get started with video editing using QuickTime. Very much appreciated, it has helped me do exactly what I needed to do.
Great video
I enjoy it
And I learn something
I hope to view more videos
GREAT video instructions and voice, Michael! I just subscribed and can't wait to see more!
I wanted to take the time to thank you! I was searching for quick help on this and I'm applying this technique on my next video. Wish you the best on RUclips!
Thank you so much, and nice 👍 voice too.i wish all the teachers could be like you.
This is an amazing video!
Thanks so much!!! The clipping part was a lifesaver.
Thank you for helping me figure this out! You made it so simple!
Wonderful video! I have been wanting to better understand the QuickTime functionality, and this video made it so easy!
Thank you for this video and your voice is just great!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks so much. Your tutorial is extremely useful for quick trim and clip videos. You are so succinct and how you guide us through the process is super like an awesome teacher. Keep up the great work.
While this generous and clear video did not get to absolutely everything that I am puzzling over, it clarified quite a bit. Appreciated the repetitions and pacing....Making multiple trims and then a save is my challenge but am sure it is a matter of practice.
The best tutorial for beginners for QuickTime. Simple, to the point without all the useless introductions of other RUclips. Thank you. By the way how do you remove the black bars bordering the video?
Very valuable bro..Thank you so so much
Thank you Michael, you rock!
That was amazing thank you. I needed to split rather than trim and this shows how. Your voice is great too.
Wow well done! Great walkthrough, patiently done, and thorough! You are a good teacher :-) I had no idea quicktime player could do this much... Now I don't have to learn new video editing software.
This was great. Saves me having to go to FCP to do small changes.
Excellent video! Thank you so much! Saved me from jumping into Adobe Premier for a simple edit!
Great to see you back, Mike! And thanks for this tutorial. I had no idea that QT even HAD an editor, I'm ashamed to say.
Question: When we scrub in the clip or footage interface, can we also use the arrow keys on the keyboard to make more minute, fine changes and movements?
Yes, you can nudge the playhead forward or backward using the arrow keys. Hope that helps.
Excellent teacher! I love it and appreciate it so much! Thank you!
Your video really helped me edit in quicktime. Thanks for the clear and detailed explanations!
Thank you for this concise video, and for taking it slow so we can actually learn new skills!
