cut 20 sec and save of 30 min video

[barbarak]

When I said 20 seconds. I just meant that as an example. For saving as an avi, I just wanted to use it in another project.
I only wanted to be able to cut out a little part of a short part of a video on a video and overlay track and use just that part
somewhere else. without saving the whole program that is about 20 minutes long. I try for nothing complicated, So I have to use the blue track above the timeline. That is what I have to figure out how to use it.
Thanks

As was pointed out when you talk about "save" in VS it refers to saving the project. It will have the extenion vsp and contains no video at all. You can consider it a "roadmap" for your project.
What you want to do is "export" or "render" your project to a video file which can then be used as a video file in other projects.
Since you want to "extract" a short section out of a longer clip you first have to create the longer clip. Do this by using "Create video file" task and export to a video file. You can then add this new video clip in your new project. Then select this clip and create a split at the beginning of the short section you want. Delete the part to the left of the split point. Now create another split point at the end of the section you want to keep and delete the section to the right of the split point. What remains is the "short clip" you want to keep.
