How to delete parts of video

I am using Movie Edit Pro 2013 and am brand new to movie editing. For the life of me I cannot figure out the easy way to delete dead parts of my video in order to make it shorter. It is just a short video of 47 seconds duration that I put together to learn from.

Say for example I want to delete scenes between the 30 second mark and the 32 second mark. How can I easily accomplish this simple task? I've looked at the training videos and other online help but for some reason none of it makes any sense to me. I figure if I can get a handle on just this one simple task then I can move forward and learn the other movie editing stuff. I know this is the simplest editing task possible, but I am stuck at the starting gate. Help! Tks.

Read through the installed PDF manual - the immediate functions you need are Split, Trim, Remove start and Remove end functions - see under Help in the program.

Sorry for the late response. Thanks, I will do that. I guess the initial confusion I have is with the proper terminology. I'll go back and look at "trim" and "split" and figure it out from there. I kept looking for things like cut and delete.

Hi,

Open the manual and read the Quick Start chapter so that you at least have a basic understanding.

What you want to do is Cut - which starts on page 27. It is illustrated in the manual.
