Logs are usually quite long and only a small portion of the data is of interest. That is where cropping comes in handy. To crop a log, enable the controls in the log dialog, then position the new trim markers to the start and end of the region of interest, finally click Crop & Export:

Cropping log

A new log is written in the selected destination folder with only the data and video located in between the trim markers.
