Select the clip and then cursor to the clip edge until the icon 
appears, drag it forward or backward to cut off the unwanted start or end.
You can now add a Marker on the clip and then drag the clip edge to the Marker point to trim precisely.
To trim multiple clips, Ctrl and select the desired clips and then drag the edge. The selected clips will be trimmed at the same time.
To resize a clip in the Preview Window, go to Visual Property and change the percentage.

You can split your videos into separate clips and then edit those clips separately. Here's how:
Right click on the clip you want to cut and select Cut.
To cut a section of a clip, place your playhead before the section you want to cut and click the scissors icon to split your clip in two. Then, place your playhead at the end of the section you want to cut and use the scissors tool again. Once you have split your clip twice you will have three clips. Right click the clip in the middle and select Cut to cut it, or simply drag it to a new location.
Note: You can use the zoom slider to get a different view of your timeline.
Select the clip you want to delete from your timeline and press Delete on your keyboard. Or, right click on the clip and select Delete.
If you only want to delete part of a clip, use the Split tool (the scissors icon in the toolbar) to separate the unwanted section into its own clip and then delete it.
