Is there a lightweight video editor for OS X?

Quicktime can do that very easily. It cost money though.

ScreenEdit will do this for free. But the UI is shit. It takes a bit to figure it out.

@johnpowell – I didn’t even realize that was you! I have seen your icon all over. I had been gone for a bit.

Thanks for that link I never heard of that.

There’s acidemux or HyperEngine AV or you could download iMovie HD 6 for free from Apple’s website. I would recommend quicktime pro though.

@Bri_L and @dverhey I do have QuickTime Pro, how do I use it to splice two videos together?

Open the first movie, select all, copy. Open the second movie, click where you want it, paste.

You can also use the little triangles to select a part. then commnd new and paste. then do that with the other movie into the new one you just made. thats if you don’t want all of both.

Another question, my videos are both different resolutions, when I paste the bigger video into the smaller video Quicktime does this. Is there any way to make the larger video scale down to the resolution of the smaller video?

You can save the larger video so it matches the smaller one before you start editing.
