Sam Quicktime is also a fast and easy way to trim videos. Just go <Edit><Trim> and it puts up a slider that you can use to trim the beginning and end of your video.

ShiroKuro I used to use QuickTime when I was in grad school (not for music but for linguistic data) -- I thought it was no longer supported?

My experience with QuickTime and PC/Mac is that QuickTime can trim videos on Mac but not on PC.

    Animisha The Windows 'Photos' app can trim videos using a slider on a PC.

      Rob oooh, I didn’t know that. I wonder if that might be the easiest, since that’s pretty much all I’ll doing (trimming the beginning and end)

      If you want to go further, and have Microsoft Clipchamp included in your Windows version, you can add fade in/out, Titles/text, as well as trim, and make other adjustments. There is no need to subscribe to the paid version.
      (If you don't want the words 'Microsoft Clipchamp' in your video title, simply re-name it)
