(iMovie) Editing the clips?

[Orbi]

Hi,

I've just had my Mac for a month now and I'm trying out all these iLife programs.
Also, I've been making movies with iMovie. It's all really great and I'm having fun... but how about actually editing the uploaded videoclips from my camera?
With iMovie I seem to be able to only just make a series of clips, use a template and add some nice effects and all.
I haven't been able to find any option that allows you to even cut the clips and use only a part of the recorded clip. :-O

Does iMovie simply not have these features and do I need some kind of extra software for that, or I'm I just not looking good enough?

If I need any other software, does anyone have any recommendations?
(freeware would be nice!)

Thanks!

I don't have iMovie installed on this computer right now, so I can't quite remember how to do it, but I did find this very helpful link here:

Enjoy.
