Editing with Quicktime 7 Pro

Man. I love making rough edits with Quicktime Pro 7. This makes for a simple way to COPY + PASTE the IN (I) and OUT (O) points of a quicktime movie into a NEW PLAYER. This allows you to create rough edits and prepare material for further editing in a program like Final Cut.

I like to use a program called HANDBRAKE, it rip movie files from DVDs.

I open these files in Quicktime Pro Player. Then I set IN and OUT points for chunks of the movie that I want to edit with. Then I COPY these points, and PASTE the footage into a NEW PLAYER.

After I extract the footage from the movie, I then export it as a quicktime movie. This movie becomes a condensed version that I can then remix in Final Cut Pro.

WHICH MEANS: You can pretty much remix any movie you can get your grubby hands on.
