Instant Cutter Tool for Mac
When you have to import long camera footage or videos, it seems to be difficult. However, with the Instant Cutter Tool on Filmora's latest version for Mac, things get easy. The tool allows you to proceed with trimming and merging the effects without re-encoding the entire video.
Trim Video Clips
Step 1: Look for the Instant Cutter Tool in Filmora Mac
On opening Filmora for Mac, lead to the "Instant Cutter Tool" option on the home screen to lead to a new window.

On the other hand, you can press the "Media" tab from the top-left and consequently proceed to the "Import" button. Select the "Import with Instant Cutter Tool" option from the drop-down menu.

Step 2: Import Video in Trim Section
On the window that opens, continue to the "Trim" tab from the top. Press the "Open File" button from the right to import the long video file into Filmora.

Step 3: Use Sliders to Trim Video
With the "Start" and "End" sliders on the left and right side of the timeline section, you can easily trim the video. Set the starting and ending points with the sliders and get the essential part out of the complete clip.

Step 4: Trim the Video with Mark In and Mark Out Points
You can trim the video with the Mark In and Out points within the same window. For that, bring the playhead to the appropriate position from where you want to start the video and click the "Mark In" icon. This will remove the starting part of the video that is passed through the playhead. Similarly, you can remove the ending part from the video with the "Mark Out" icon.

Step 5: Set the Trimmed Clip as a Segment
To save the trimmed clip as a segment of a video, use the "Add Segment" button. The trimmed clip would be added to the video section on the right side of the window.

Step 6: Play and Finalize by Exporting
Continue to select the "Play" icon to play and preview the final video. You can click the "Export" button to save the finalized video to your Mac. A new pop-up window appears where you need to define the name and location of the video before pressing "OK".

Merge Video Clips
Step 1: Add Video File With Merge Category
Consequently, move to the "Merge" tab from the top and continue to add video files using the "Open File" button.

Step 2: Reorder the Clips Before Merging
As the videos are imported and displayed on the right side, re-order them using your mouse according to your requirements.

Step 3: Preview and Export Merged Video
After tapping the "Play" icon, lead to the "Export" button for saving the final merged file. Set up a name and location of the video across the pop-up and click "OK".
