I would like an explanation of how to trim a video. For example, for a video of length 5 minutes, I would like to trim the section from 1:01 to 2:00 and trim section 3:01 to 4:00 and combine the sections consisting of original parts 0:00 to 1:00, 2:01 to 3:00, 4:01 to 5:00. Absolutely nothing is explained about how to carry this out. I do not understand the first thing about how this is carried out. Could you please describe in detail how this is achieved.
Thanks,

Thanks for the definition of "non-linear editing" which differs in its adoption of the term "non-linear" from other usage of this term.
As I stated before, I do not understand where the file sections go. In other words, when trimming a video file and suppressing sections, it is never explained where the trim sections are stored temporarily and how to access these sections.
Where are the different trim sections kept in the software? How are these accessed? How are these combined?

After some reflection, it appears that you use the term "non-linear" to mean "does not preserve the linear order". That is not the usual definition of non-linear, moreover, the resulting videos are all a function of time, so are a function of one dimension, that is, functions of a linear measurement.

Thank you for your first explanation. If I understand correctly, the "trim" feature depends only on the time line, so is a one dimensional process (a function of time only). Your cake analogy is 2-dimensional, so I do not see why you are using it. At best, this analogy can be reduced to one dimensional by considering a slice to be determined by its intersection with the boundary circle (assuming that a s slice is a sector), but even so a circle would still identify the initial point of the video with the final point (wrap around). I do not believe that this assumption is correct. For these reasons, I do not understand why you call video editing "non linear".
I still do not understand how to delete multiple sections of a video. As you stated, marking "in" (that is, suppressing all that is to the left) and "out" (suppressing to the right) creates a segment supressing the outer segments. It is still not explained how to continue after one such procedure in order to suppress multiple segments. Moreover, when I attempted one single procedure, the audio was no longer synchronized. Please explain why the audio would no longer be synchronized.

Please define the terms: "mark", "in", "out" as they pertain to this program.
You may find the programs simplistic and easy to follow, but you also created them, so may not be the best judge. I find them confusing and difficult to follow.

I asked specific questions. You were the one who disputed the form in which I posed my question and introduced pedantic points of form. Why can no one explain the terms: "mark", "in", "out" as they pertain to this software.
Your videos assume that a person has already used the software. I have never used it before, so I hardly understand any of the manipulations in your videos.

I did ask specific questions. Speaking of which how can you sell software without defining terms, with incomplete manuals, and no tutorials?

I just bought PowerDirector 7 by downloading it and I don't understand the first thing about the video editing features. I looked at the help files and they are no help. I can't figure out "trim" or "multiple trim" I don't understand what "mark in" or "mark out" mean, these terms are not defined anywhere. I tried experimenting and I don't understand where the clips go, the audio is no longer synchronized to the video. In short, a total disaster. I can't find a manual explaining any of these terms or even a tutorial explanation for the basics.
