  Drag the two half-arrow cursors on the timeline to your "in" and "out" points on the timeline to section off the desired part of the video. You may also place your cursor on the timeline and hit "i" or "o" on your keyboard for the "in" and "out" marks.

  For example, if you need only one section of your video, place your "in" and "out" marks in their appropriate places. Click "Edit" and "Trim to Selection" on the QuickTime toolbar. This will delete the sections of video outside of your "in" and "out" marks.
