Right, for laptops there is no separate home/end key so you use the
function key to give the arrows a second purpose. Function up/down also
maps to pageup/pagedown. Did you interact with the end points before
trying to move them? So you'll be interacting twice after going into
Trim mode. Once with the timeline and then once with the endpoint. After
that second interact VO-left and VO-right should move it in .01 second
increments. Might be some other modifiers to jump by larger chunks. I'm
on OSX 10.7 so maybe the keys are slightly different on other versions.
I haven't played as much with iMove. Maybe others can help there.

Greetings,
I have a couple questions.
According to the keyboard help FN plus left or right arrow is the same
as pressing the hime and end button.
I tried this both in quicktime and iMovie to adjust the sliders and as
far as I could tell nothing at all happened.
I really want to find our how to adjust the start and end sliders in
iMovie especially This will make my video editing a lot faster.
I appreciate any help with this. Take care!

Well, you can do editing in Quicktime but I wouldn't attempt anything fancy. Others can
recommend better apps such as GarageBand which has a lot more features. Generally with
Quicktime you can trim junk off the beginning or end fairly easily. Load up your clip and
then choose Trim from the Edit menu (or hit Command-T). That puts you in the editor where
you can navigate to the "multiple indicators timeline". Interact with that and
you'll find two draggable indicators for start time and end time. You can jump between
those with VO-Up and VO-Down. To change the value of either one you interact with it and
then VO-Left or VO-right. Plain old home and end moves the play head to either end of
what you have left. Once you have the positions where you want them stop interacting with
the timeline (you will have to VO-shift-up twice) find the trim button and action that.
Escape will take you out of edit and all that's left is what you didn't trim. Then you
can choose iTunes from the Share menu to dump your trimmed audio into iTunes to do
whatever you like with it.

Chris,
I've just figured out how to make a recording, but when I try and edit it
delete, undo, etc. all my edit options are dimmed.
Do I need to change any settings in quicktime?

That's pretty broad. The simplest thing would be to use the built-in mic of
your mac and choose New Audio Recording from the QuickTime Player menu. Beyond
that it depends on what kind of recording you want to make and at what level of
quality.

Is there a way to record a note or singing? How might I do that?
