In short: Park the playhead where you want the cut and use Split.
Trimming shortens a clip from its ends. Splitting cuts it in two, which is what you want when the middle is the problem or you need to drop something in between.
Split at the playhead
Drag the playhead to the frame you want to cut on, select the clip and split. You get two independent clips and nothing is deleted, so you can trim each one separately afterwards.
Tracks stack, and the order matters
Text and graphics sit on their own tracks above the footage. Moving a track up brings its contents to the front; moving it down sends them behind. That is how you control what overlaps what.
Clips do not overlap on the same track
Drag a clip and the others make room. If you want two things on screen at once they need to be on separate tracks.
Gaps are allowed
A gap between clips shows the page background rather than an error. Useful for a deliberate beat, worth checking for when it was not deliberate.
Everything loops by default
A clip shorter than its slot repeats to fill it. Switch looping off and it holds its last frame instead, which is usually what you want for a closing shot.
There are no built-in crossfades between clips yet. To soften a cut, overlap the two clips on separate tracks and pair an exit animation with an entrance animation.
