If I understand you correctly, you would like to cut out multiple portions of the 5 min. clip.

You can do this by:
1. Selecting the clip in the timeline.
2. Choose the multitrim option button just above the timeline.
3. Move the time marker to end of where you want keep.
4. Choose the split function.
5. Move the time marker to point at the end of the part you want to remove. This will give you an additional scene listed on the right.
6. Move the time marker to the end of the section you want to keep and then again, choose the split function. You will have another scene listed.
7. Continue to mark all the scene segments of those to keep and remove.
8 Lastly, click on the segments you want to remove and choose the "trash" button just below the window.

Hope this helps. Jim Clark

Sounds like it would work and I appreciate your help. I will definitely print out your response and try it. However, seems to me that being able to perform multiple mark in and outs would be the bomb!

The way I described is my "way" of doing what you described.

There is also a mark in/mark out function in the multitrim window just to the left of the "split" function. Just move the time marker along the video clip and either mark in or mark out as you wish. It will list the segments that you've decided to keep in the right side window.

Both work. Sorry for the confusion.

Awesome....

Thanks again...
