Just like you can cut, paste a selection of text in a text document, you can cut and paste a part of the video by using drag and drop option of the video file. You can use this function to remove any part of the video clip you do not want. You can move a part of a clip from one place to another (for instance if you want to re-order responses in an interview). You can also delete a part of the clip also using delete key from the keyboard(or right click and remove clip).

==== Adding a transition ====

==== Adding a transition ====

In openshot video editors have some default transactions in the transaction tab, select a transaction and drag-drop it on the video.<br>

You may want to add a 'transition' in your video, to introduce a new section. For instance you are moving between showing an interview of a person, and visuals of a program and want to have a separation between the two, introducing a transition every time you switch will make the video easier to follow. You can do this selecting <u>Transition</u>, you will see icons of different transitions. Select one transition and drag-drop it on the video, at the spot you want to introduce the transition.<br>
