My original video is 1:25 long. At about 36:11 the dog bumped into me. I restabilized the camera at 41:11 and continued filming. I need to cut that bumpy 5 seconds out! I see all the TRIM tutorials that let me shorten the original video. But, I just want to CUT this shaky piece out. How do I do that?

Hello,

The easiest way is with the Split tool. Just make two cuts, and delete the unwanted 5 seconds:

EDIT: Exactly what PDM posted 👍

You wouldn't normally use the Trim tool since you're looking to cut out an unwanted section and then join the clips on either side.

To do that, simply place the scrubber at the end of the first good section then click on the Split tool (razor icon) to cut the clip there. Next place the scrubber at the start of the next good section and use the tool again, like this:

Finally select the unwanted section and hit the <Del> key (or right click and choose Remove) then choose Remove and Fill Gap to slide the second clip to join the first.

Maybe watching a basic tutorial will help. Here's a good place to start.
