Install the latest VLC player(1.0) if not already installed. In this post, I will show you how to cut small videos from a movie. Same method can be used to cut mp3 files with VLC player.

Open player and under option “View” select “advanced controls”.

    I can't find the video clips anywhere on my PC. Is there another location vlc would store them?

  • Anonymous December 18, 2011, 5:19 am

    For me, the clips were saved in the folder vlc last used to save converted videos, which for me was set several days ago during a different session. I.e., not necessarily the home directory if you're running Linux.

  • Vang Vieng January 9, 2012, 1:33 pm

    No i could'nt quite work out how to do it when i clicked on advanced it was'nt the same as above.

    vlc is a vvvvvvvvveeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy gud player

  • Pete Campbell April 19, 2012, 6:36 pm

    VLC media player is a great way to cut or clip your videos to extract small portions of your videos. My videos went to "my videos" folder. If you can't find the videos, just search your computer folders for "vlc" and you should find them and you will know what folder they are being saved in.

    Has anyone determined a way to eliminate the file name splash that comes up in the beginning in the video?

  • Jobin May 17, 2012, 2:00 pm

    Thanks for the method. Its working for me. I use Ubuntu 11.10 and VLC 1.1.12. Audio and Video, both are fine and in synchronization. The video got saved in the Videos folder of my home folder. Thank a lot!
