After struggling for two evenings trying to figure out editing, trimming and so on, I think I've stumbled upon the idiot's way to edit with PD7-- use the split function.
Example: If you want to remove the video from 01:00 to 01.30 (that's one minute to 1 minute 30 secs), move to 1.00 and click on split. You now have two pieces.
Next play or move to 1.30 and click on split again. You now have three pieces-- 0.00 to 1.00 which you want to keep, 1.00 to 1.30 which you want to lose, 1.30 to the end.
On the timeline, click the middle section and then the delete button-- looks like a trashcan.
There, you've removed the unwanted section. You can insert transition effects at the splits to make the video smoother.
Maybe eventually I can figure out the other editing functions, but this suits what I'd doing fine.
Too bad Cyberlink has such poor documentation. The downloadable "Guide" is just a pdf version of the help section and no more specific.
The concept of editing is generally understood. What is not understood are all the peculiar buttons, tricks, and terms used in programs to perform basic cut and paste operations.
