Load DCP or MXF files, use trimming under 'Timing'.

'E-DCP'' , what exactly do you mean with that? If you refer to the outdated MPEG2-Interop DCP, then the only free software I am aware of is OPENDCP. You need to encode your files prior to using OPENDCP, though.

Hi
Thanks for your reply. You got it right for mpeg2000 interop. To what format should I encode my clip to before working it with open dcp?
Thanks.

I think you are pretty much on your own there:

https://dcpomatic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=158

There are many tools capable of creating MPEG2, e.g. FFMPEG. You also need to split video and audio into separate files, just as with JPEG2000.

Maybe you should ask in the http://www.dcinemaforum.com/forum/ - that's where the OpenDCP people discuss things.
