In Quicktime 7 it was super easy to make a selection with in/out points and cut/copy/paste that video. How do you achieve that functionality in Quicktime X?

I see Trim mode - that's only a small subset of what was possible in 7. How can you delete a span of video from the middle of a clip, or paste that to another part of a clip?

QuickTime Player X does not have many of the more useful editing features that was available in QuickTime Player 7. You can find QuickTime Player 7 in your Utilities folder if it was installed when you upgraded to Snow Leopard.

Of note, QuickTime X is a new beast that contains QuickTime 7. The Players are completely separate entities from (but use) the QuickTime framework.

If you didn't have QT Pro (ie the paid version) when you upgraded to Snow Leopard you can still install it: support.apple.com/kb/HT3678 – ridogi Nov 29 '09 at 20:10

Quicktime X is not as capable as Quicktime 7 yet. The QT Cocoa API that it uses is not yet feature-complete. Thus, the older Carbon-based Quicktime 7 is still needed to perform some kinds of edits.
