Creating a subclip/cut
Just below the video preview window, there's a filmstrip which allows you to trim subclips. It's fairly simple — click over the desired place on the filmstrip, adjust a frame using left/right arrow buttons on your keyboard and click the 
control button to specify the subclip's first frame.
Likewise, find the last frame of your subclip and click the 
button .
Once you're satisfied with your selection, click the "Add to Storyboard" button. A subclip will be created.

Working with rough cuts
Newly created subclips are located in the bottom part of RoughCut view. By default, they are sorted by creation date — older ones on the left and most recent ones on the right. You can change this sequence by dragging the subclips over each other.
You can also delete subclips from the Storyboard.

Once you are done with arranging the subclips sequence, click on Play Rough Cut to preview the resulting video.
If you're OK with the results, click "Render RoughCut" (Ci will create an MP4 file and locate it in a Workspace of your choice) and/or send Content Browser Mobile EDL for hi-res trimming to your email.
