Step 2: Cut the clip at the end of the fragment
1. Select the second clip that you've just cut off.

If you only need to cut off some parts at the beginning or at the end of a video or audio clip:
Step 1: Place your mouse pointer over the edge of the clip.
Step 2: Click and drag the edge towards the center of the clip to trim the clip to the desired length.
