A month ago, I captured some AVCHD files with my handy JVC GZ HD620 camcorder. I planned to upload those fantastic shootings to YouTube, so it can be enjoyed by groups of people. Anyway, I did need to cut some unwanted segments without quality loss before uploading. I was once suggested to use some video conversion programs for which can has the video clipping function. I did it, but the exported file video quality isn't satisfactory. Finally, I find out an easy solution-Mac JVC Video Cutter without doing the conversion.

Here is an intuitive tutorial on how to cut/split AVCHD video with the JVC video cutting program.

Free download the JVC Video Cutting software for Mac on your Mac. Then follow the wizard to finish its installation and launch it.

Click "Add File" to load the JVC .mts or .m2ts video into the program.

Choose one of them, and click the "Play" button, it will show you two preview windows, the left one for the source file and the right for the output file. At the below of the playback progress bar, there are two sliders, drag the first one to specify its start time of the output file and the second one to decide its ending point.

Hit the "Save" button on the below of the interface to store the trimmed clips.
