5.6. Splitting a ClipThe techniques described in the previous section work well when you want to remove some footage from a clip. Sometimes, however, it can be useful to split a clip into two separate clips without deleting footage in the process. For example, suppose you want the title of your movie to appear 5 seconds into a certain piece of footage. In iMovie, the only way to accomplish that feat is to split the clip into three piecesthe first one being 5 seconds longand superimpose the title credit on the middle piece. (More on titles in Chapter 7.) The Split Video Clip at Playhead command is exactly what you need in that case.
