text: In Windows Movie Maker, you drag your clip to the timeline.  Be sure it is a timeline view, not the storyboard view.  If you aren't sure, press Ctrl+T to toggle.  The timeline view will show several tracks on top of each other on a white background.\n\nIn that view, add your clip, then play it.  Stop it at the 2 second mark.  You can either use the method of splitting the clip (Clip > Split) and then deleting the first 2 seconds, or you can set the Start point (Clip > Set Start trim point) and it will automatically bring the start of your clip to that point.\n\nYou can do similar things in the middle or end of your clip too.
