Trimming a video

murraysobol

I am a new user to Hitfilm Express and would like to trim a video. The video in question contains about 7 minutes in advertising at the start; the overall video is 30 minutes in length.

I am confused re: how to do this; I saw the option: Trim a video. I could position the vertical bar to the actual start (past the advertising) of the video but didn't know what to do next. I didn't see an option to save the "chopped" video.

Thanks

@murraysobol I made this quick little capture video showing how I get rid of extra OBS padding at the beginning of a previous capture and then shorten it and how to export it. I forgot to highlight that if you select Export Now you don't get the option to change the location and file type preset that you get when you select Add to Queue.

Hope this helps you out.
