video clip confusion

[Guest]

I am trying to select clips from a video in order to use them in a powerpoint
presentation. The problem is, MM2 picks the clips for me when I import the
video. Is there a way for me to select my OWN clips from the video and save
them individually for use in the powerpoint? If not, does anyone have any
suggestions on a program that would do so?

=====================================
In Movie Maker...when you go to...
File / Import Into Collections...you
will see the "Import File" window.
Uncheck..."Create clips for video files".

Now the video will be imported as
a single clip and you can split it
anywhere you like.

Drag the clip to the timeline and
you will see a Vertical Line...(sorry,
I don't know the proper name for it)

Anyway, if you play the movie you
will see the line moving...also you
can left click / drag the line by grabbing
the square at the top.

When the line is in the position where
you require the split...Left Click...the
"Split" button just below your view
screen or type Ctrl+L.
